Rational Developer for System z
Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, Version 4.1, Language Reference


Delimited scope statements

In general, a DELIMITED SCOPE statement uses an explicit scope terminator to turn a conditional statement into an imperative statement. The resulting imperative statement can then be nested. Explicit scope terminators can also be used to terminate the scope of an imperative statement. Explicit scope terminators are provided for all COBOL statements that can have conditional phrases.

Unless explicitly specified otherwise, a delimited scope statement can be specified wherever an imperative statement is allowed by the rules of the language.
