1.10 MS-DOS

The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft COBOL for MS-DOS, version 1.1

Summary: The ACCEPT handler of the run-time program loses screen data (i.e., does not assign the keyed input to the specified variable as desired) if an item whose length exceeds the dimensions of the screen is ACCEPTed. This is a known problem in Version 1.1. This problem was corrected in Version 1.12.
