Washington D.C., October 1997 - NCITS Announces the Availability of COBOL Information Bulletin #28 (CIB-28)
COBOL Information Bulletin #28 is issued in response to questions that have been raised regarding certain specifications contained in the content of:
ANSI X3.23-1985, Programming Language - COBOL, along with ANSI X3.23a-1989, Programming Language - Intrinsic Function Module for COBOL and ANSI X3.23b-1993, Programming Language - Correction Amendment for COBOL.
These interpretations were prepared by Technical Committee J4, which is responsible for the maintenance of that standard, and were authorized for release by NCITS (National Committee for Information Technology Standards) in order to provide clarifications as quickly as possible in response to questions raised.
These interpretations, while reflecting the technical opinion of the committee responsible for maintaining the standard, are intended solely as supplementary information to users of the standard. The standard is not altered by the issuance of these interpretations. Any subsequent revision, erratum, amendment, or interpretation to the standard may or may not reflect the contents of these interpretations.
