Error description

  • In IBM Developer for z/os Software Analyzer, when a custom COBOL
rule is written, SKIP1, SKIP2, or SKIP3, are not recognized as a
valid COBOL compile directives.

The COBOL documentation describes SKIP (1,2,3):

The SKIP1, SKIP2, and SKIP3 statements specify blank lines that
the compiler should add when printing the source listing.
SKIP statements have no effect on the compilation of the source
text itself.
SKIP1
Specifies a single blank line to be inserted in the source
listing.
SKIP2
Specifies two blank lines to be inserted in the source listing.
SKIP3
Specifies three blank lines to be inserted in the source
listing.

SKIP(1,2,3) will be added to the IDz Software Analyzer code
rules for COBOL.
