REPLACE and comment lines
This item affects the treatment of blank lines and comment lines that are displayed in text that matches pseudo-text-1 of REPLACE statements.
Blank lines, which are interspersed in the matched text, will not
be displayed in the output of the REPLACE statement. This change could
affect the semantics of the resulting program since the line numbers
could be different. (For example, if a program uses the USE FOR DEBUGGING
declarative, the contents of DEBUG-ITEM might be different). If an Enterprise COBOL generated program
differs from the equivalent VS COBOL II program, the following message
will be issued:
- IGYLI0193-I
- Matched pseudo-text-1 contained blank or comment lines. Execution results may differ from VS COBOL II Release 3.x.
