--- Comment #4 from Simon Sobisch <simonsobisch at gnu dot org> --- Please reopen as this is not about doing anything with the obsolete code in any way, but ignoring = "parse in the water". The main issue is that the FD is not recognized any more, and yes, there are a lot of existing code bases (MF and others raise a warning "ignored", if you enable those warnings) that have "VALUE OF" and "LABEL RECORDS" in, some also that include "DATA RECORDS". The important stuff is still recognised correctly with other compilers: 003300 DATA DIVISION. 003400 FILE SECTION. 003500 FD TFIL. 004800 01 FREC. 004900 03 RKEY PIC X(8). while gcobol 15.1 complains about the missing FD definition for TFIL.
