information, see ALPHABET Clause.

HP COBOL ignores the SEGMENT LIMIT clause except to check its syntax. All
segment-numbers, from 01 to 49, are permanent.
segment-number
must be in the range 1 through 49 but is otherwise ignored.

Note. The 1985 COBOL standard classifies the SEGMENT-LIMIT clause as obsolete, so you
are advised not to use it.
