The following are limitations in this version: • The SCREEN SECTION is not supported. Your NetCOBOL for .NET applications should use Windows Forms or Web Forms for interfacing with your users. • The COBOL REPORT WRITER module is not supported. • TYPEDEF STRONG is not supported. • ENTRY statements are not supported. Code that relies on ENTRY points should be restructured so that each separate ENTRY point becomes a method. • ALTER statements are not supported. ALTER was declared obsolete in the 1985 COBOL standard. • A GO TO statement without a procedure name (used as the target of an ALTER statement) is not supported. • The “STOP literal” statement, which would display a message to an operator and pause execution pending a response, is not supported.
