Why create additional reserved word tables?

This section describes the benefits of creating additional reserved word tables.

You can create additional reserved word tables to:
  • Translate the reserved words into another language, such as French or German.
  • Prevent application programmers from using a particular Enterprise COBOL instruction, such as GO TO.
  • Control the usage of nested programs.
  • Flag words that are not supported under CICS®, such as READ and WRITE.
