REPLACE and comment lines

This item affects the treatment of blank lines and comment lines that appear in text that matches pseudo-text-1 of REPLACE statements.

Blank lines, which are interspersed in the matched text, will not appear in the output of the REPLACE statement. This change could affect the semantics of the resulting program since the line numbers could be different. (For example, if a program uses the USE FOR DEBUGGING declarative, the contents of DEBUG-ITEM might be different). If an Enterprise COBOL generated program differs from the equivalent VS COBOL II program, the following message will be issued:
IGYLI0193-I
Matched pseudo-text-1 contained blank or comment lines. Execution results may differ from VS COBOL II, Release 3.x.
