3191.0. "Cobol level 1 compliance ?" by SIOG::HANLEY () Thu Jan 30 1997 09:52
Cross posted in YEAR2000 and Y2K Notes Files
Can anybody tell me the position regarding COBOL's compliance for year 2000.
I have been told that version 2.4 of DEC COBOL and version 5.4 of VAX
COBOL are Level 1 compliant.
However, I believe that the COBOL statement :
ACCEPT X-DATE FROM DATE.
will populate a 2 character year field in variable X-DATE.
The workaround is to use System services calls, SYS$GETTIM,
SYS$ASCTIM etc.
My issue is : Surely the ACCEPT statement (and therefore COBOL) does
not meet Level 1 compliance. Am I correct ?
Many thanks,
Patrick.

| You are not correct. Although the ACCEPT statement is not
compliant, the language provides other facilities that are compliant.
See note 3160 for details.
