Context-sensitive words
A context-sensitive word is a COBOL word that is reserved only in the general formats in which it is specified. If a context-sensitive word is used where the context-sensitive word is permitted in the general format, the word is treated as a keyword; otherwise it is treated as a user-defined word.
