Inserting Source Lines

Note:

The Integrated Preprocessor is supported for native COBOL only.

When resp-main contains the value 1, resp-more is used to indicate the position in the original source of the replaced non-COBOL verb as follows.

Value	Description
`nn`	The number of the column containing the first character of the non-COBOL verb being replaced by the current line. The line(s) containing the non-COBOL verb would have previously been marked by returning the value of 2 in `resp-main; if there was more than one line, the verb is assumed to be on the first of them.`
0	No verb replacement is taking place.
	For example, if the original source contains: exec abc do something useful end-exec and these three lines are replaced by: call abc_something_useful then the value of `nn` gives the position of the EXEC statement.

Value

Description

nn

The number of the column containing the first character of the non-COBOL verb being replaced by the current line. The line(s) containing the non-COBOL verb would have previously been marked by returning the value of 2 in resp-main; if there was more than one line, the verb is assumed to be on the first of them.

No verb replacement is taking place.

For example, if the original source contains:

   exec abc
   do something useful
   end-exec

and these three lines are replaced by:

  call abc_something_useful

then the value of nn gives the position of the EXEC statement.
