Error description

  • An EJECT statement before the IDENTIFICATION DIVISION causes
    COBOL files to be classified as INCLUDEs not MAINs.
    
    Further investigation showed that the issue is not EJECT without
    period -- the issue is any token preceding the IDENTIFICATION
    token, immediately followed by a \n (new line char) causes the
    IDENTIFICATION token to be skipped as the classification
    (DMH5210) is looking for a continuation character in column 7.

  • Fix available in V5.5.1.2.
