Explanation: Original Program Model (OPM) COBOL uses the Integrated Language Environment(R) (ILE) COBOL program verifier. There are some syntax and semantic differences in the languages, although generally ILE COBOL is a superset of OPM COBOL/400.
Response: Because of the differences in the languages, the verify may result in some messages that the compiler does not generate, and some messages may not be generated which a subsequent compile may generate. Keep this in mind when verifying OPM COBOL programs.
For a complete list of the differences in the languages, please refer to WebSphere Development Studio: ILE COBOL Programmer's Guide.
