I would suggest using the Feedback option available at the top of

explaining that the definition of "error" in the context of the Program
Status clause is insufficient for you to effectively rely on the updating
of the program related information. This will hopefully get the manual
updated in addition to you finding the formal answer.

Subject
[COBOL400-L] what defines an "error" or "exception" for ILE COBOL?






List,

This is related to the discussion I started on the PROGRAM STATUS area.
From
the ILE COBOL Reference:

The PROGRAM STATUS clause specifies a data item into which values from

the predefined program status structure are moved after an *error* occurs
in
the program.

My question is: what specific conditions/statements/clauses satisfy this
definition of "error". I have searched the manuals but don't see any list
of
items that would explain this.
