Re: [open-cobol-list] TABLES and TEXT

[Robert Wolfe]

I am just curious -- are tables even supported?  It would seem by the output of 
the compiler that they are not.  Please correct me if I am wrong here.

Hi

To work out what is wrong wee need to see the source code.
However that said, it seems you are using reserved words as your variable
names and that's a serious no-no so change them. You can eg, just add say 1
eg, table1, text1 etc for err 4, 30, 51.
