Summary: When edit-reviewing or tech-reviewing B_COBOL Version 3.00 articles in STARS, please check and modify the first three lines so that OS/2 is added to the operating system field to satisfy the current STARS standard format, as shown below. If the article does not refer to COBOL Version 3.00 or later, the OS/2 should not be added, since COBOL Version 3.00 is the first version to offer OS/2 support.
