Summary: The 600-PROCESS-OUTPUT-FILE example on Page 378 of the “Microsoft COBOL Compiler Reference” manual does not work correctly. The 600-PROCESS-OUTPUT-FILE example should read as follows:

600-PROCESS-OUTPUT-FILE RETURN SORT-FILE RECORD INTO OUTPUT-RECORD AT END MOVE “Y” TO END-OF-OUTPUT-SW PERFORM 800-CONTROL TOTALS. IF NOT END-OF-OUTPUT PERFORM 700-PROCESS-OUTPUT-RECORD.
