COBOL Segmentation

HP COBOL ignores segment numbers, but issues warning messages for transfers of

control forbidden by the segmentation rules of the ANSI COBOL Standard. HP COBOL

also issues warning messages for altered GO TO statements in independent

segments, because such alterations will not be restored when control returns to the

independent segments.

Note. The 1985 COBOL Standard classifies the segmentation module as obsolete, so you

are advised not to use it.
