Blinking Cursor on IBM PS/2

2.20 MS-DOS

Summary: When repeatedly executing a DISPLAY statement on an IBM PS/2, there is a blinking cursor present on the screen. However, when the program is executed on an IBM PC, the cursor is hidden. This is a known problem in Version 2.2. This is not a problem under COBOL version 3.0, since the cursor is always on by default when data is DISPLAYed.
