Your comment system doesn't like the syntax -- thinks it contains HTML tags, I guess. So I'll post on my own blog.
Here it is.
I was going to say, that doesn't look anything like the COBOL I used to write back in the 70's and 80's. But having looked at Richard's blog, it's obvious that COBOL has not moved on as much as I feared ;-)
I had the same thought as John. :-)
