Do not use COBOL language features identified as obsolete in the ANSI standard, as these elements will be deleted in the next edition of the standard.
On the IBM i, use COBOL ‘85 in preference to COBOL ‘74.
Numeric variables should be declared as signed, odd-length, COMPUTATIONAL (packed decimal). This gives a more efficient implementation.
