Re: [open-cobol-list] OC Compile Errors that work in MicroFocus and Mainframe

[Roger While]

Use the 2002 standard comaptible syntax -
SET proc-pointer TO ADDRESS OF PROGRAM identifier-or-literal.

Also note that the standard does not know PROCEDURE-POINTER.
The standard defines PROGRAM-POINTER.
However, OC accepts both.
