FLAGSTD

Makes the Compiler produce language-level certification flags when it finds syntax that is not part of a specified level of the ANSI'85 Standard.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.-----FLAGSTD--"string"-.---------><
   +-/-+ +-NO--FLAGSTD-----------+

Parameters:

string

List of language levels

Properties:

Default:	NOFLAGSTD
Phase:	Syntax check
$SET:	Initial

Comments:

string contains a list of parameters, each defining a language level or optional module of the ANSI Standard. A feature is not flagged if it is in one of the specified levels or below, or in one of the specified optional modules. A feature is flagged if it is an extension, in a higher level of the Standard, or in an optional module not specified. In addition, it is possible to flag elements identified as Obsolete by the ANSI Standard.

string consists of a combination of the following parameters:

M	ANSI'85 defined Minimum COBOL subset
I	ANSI'85 defined Intermediate COBOL subset
H	ANSI'85 defined High COBOL subset
C1	Communications optional module level 1
C2	Communications optional module level 2
D1	Debug optional module level 1
D2	Debug optional module level 2
S1	Segmentation optional module level 1
S2	Segmentation optional module level 2
R	Report writer optional module
O	Obsolete language elements

They can appear in any order but must be separated by at least one space. The following combination of flags can be specified:

You must choose one of the following: M, I, H
You can choose as many of the following as desired: C1 or C2, D1 or D2, S1 or S2, R
You can also choose the following flag: O

FLAG and FLAGSTD provide similar functionality and thus only one can be used.

The ANS85 directive must be on.
