viii LOAD and OVERLAP verbs

Implementation of these verbs has been deferred.

ix Miscellaneous

Procedure.names not followed by a period (.) and blank are handled properly; no diagnostic message is given.

A period (.) followed by a blank in a procedure statement terminates analysis of the statement except when they appear within an alphabetic literal; any information in the same card which follows the period is assumed to be commentary. No diagnostic comment is made.

b) Data Description

i COPY type code

Implementation of COPY has been deferred.

ii RECORD type code

A name associated with the RECORD type code must be unique. If the record is defined within a section the section.name may not be used as a qualifier of the record.name.

Since a quantity specification may not be made at the record level, record.names may not be subscripted.

iii REDEF type code

Whenever an input record containing an array is involved in a REDEF, the record containing the array should precede the REDEF in order to get optimum results. An area involved in a REDEF must not contain subscript variables or a QUANTITY.IN value.

iv Pictorials

A field may not be described as a mixed numeric and alphameric field, i.e., both A's and 9's in a pictorial. If this specification is made the field is treated as alphameric.

v Miscellaneous

Neither a data item (literal) nor a condition.name may be subscripted. However, a conditional variable may be subscripted.
