Use FujitsuCOBOLFD to ensure that mid-line comment information is not treated as part of a COBOL statement or definition.

 

FujitsuCOBOLFD = 1

 

Normally, COBOL does not allow inline comments. Comments appear on their own lines, with an * in position (Column) 7.  

 

The Fujitsu COBOL compiler allows inline comments. If the Fujitsu COBOL compiler encounters a *> on a line, it treats the rest of the line as a comment.

 

If you are using the Fujitsu COBOL compiler and the *> comment operand, set FUJITSUCOBOLFD to 1.

 

Default=0 (only standard COBOL comment formatting applies).

 

Note: If there are comments in the left hand margin (first six positions),  set FreeformCOBOLFD to 0. Otherwise CONNX will treat the COBOL statements as fixed column, 7-72 format.
