OBJECT-COMPUTER Paragraph
CHARACTER-SET clause

Clause.
MEMORY-SIZE Clause
HP COBOL ignores the MEMORY SIZE clause except to check its syntax.
integer
must be in the range 1 through 32,767 but is otherwise ignored.
WORDS
CHARACTERS
MODULES
are ignored.
PROGRAM COLLATING SEQUENCE Clause
The PROGRAM COLLATING SEQUENCE clause enables you to specify an arbitrary
collating sequence for use in nonnumeric comparisons and changes the values of the
figurative constants HIGH-VALUE, HIGH-VALUES, LOW-VALUE, and LOW-VALUES.
This clause has no effect on national data items, which are collated in ascending order
of binary value (of the 2-byte pair representing the character).
Note. The 1985 COBOL standard classifies the MEMORY-SIZE clause as obsolete, so you
are advised not to use it.
