I. COBOL Character Set

The following lists are in ascending order:

EBCDIC ASCIIspace space

. period, decimal point ” quotation mark< less than $ dollar sign( left parenthesis ’ single quotation mark+ plus symbol ( left parenthesis$ dollar sign ) right parenthesis

∗ asterisk, multiplication ∗ asterisk, multiplication) right parenthesis + plus symbol; semicolon , comma- hyphen, minus sign - hyphen, minus sign/ slash, division . period, decimal point, comma / slash, division> greater than 0–9 digits’ single quotation mark ; semicolon= equal sign < less than” quotation mark = equal sign

a–z lowercase letters > greater thanA–Z uppercase letters A–Z uppercase letters0–9 digits a–z lowercase letters

II. COBOL Reserved Words

Each COBOL compiler has a list of reserved words that:

1. Includes all entries in the ANS COBOL standard.2. Includes additional entries not part of the standard but that are either

VAX or IBM compiler extensions. These are called enhancements.

The following is based on the 1974 and 1985 American National Standard.You may find that your computer has additional reserved words. Diagnosticmessages will print if you are using a reserved word incorrectly.

3

New reserved words that are not relevant for COBOL 74, but are relevantonly for COBOL 85, are denoted with a single asterisk (∗). COBOL 74 reservedwords that are not reserved in the new standard are denoted with a doubleasterisk (∗∗). Words in red are VAX COBOL 85 extensions. Words in blue areIBM COBOL 85 extensions. Boxed words are both VAX and IBM COBOL 85extensions.
