Note. The presence of the keyword TAL in an ENTER statement causes COBOL to use the
TAL protocol when passing the ENTER statement’s parameters to a routine. Most of these
routines require a protocol different from that used for normal TAL procedures. The keyword
TAL must not follow the ENTER verb in statements used to access these routines. A reminder
of this requirement is included in each routine description to which it applies.
