Article-I.D.: houxh.138 Posted: Tue Feb 15 08:53:52 1983 Received: Thu Feb 17 08:50:20 1983 I was asked to taeach a COBOL class for a community education program (notice that I DIDN'T pick the language). In preparing, I began to wonder why COBOL bothers with 77's as opposed to elementary 01's. Is there some real effect in the compiled code or is it just for documentation? Thanks, Pete LaMaster BTL NJ (201)949-0040 houxh!pvl
