1.10 MS-DOS

Summary: The following are enhancements made in MS-COBOL Version 1.10. The compiler now requires that “ACCESS MODE” be “SEQUENTIAL” when the file organization is sequential. The compiler now requires that numeric items be no longer than 18 digits. The compiler will now trap attempts to write the object or the list file onto the source file, as well as onto each other. The message “No errors or warnings” is now sent to the list file.
