ACCEPT statement

One additional difference between later releases and VS COBOL II, Release 3.0 involves the system input devices for the mnemonic-name suboption of the ACCEPT statement.

For VS COBOL II, Release 3.0 only, an input record of 80 characters is assumed even if a logical record length of other than 80 characters is specified. For VS COBOL II, Release 3.1 through Release 4.0, an input record of 256 characters is assumed even if a logical record length of other than 80 characters is specified.

In Enterprise COBOL, the maximum logical record length allowed is 32,760 characters.
