To: J3 07-320r1 From: Dick Hendrickson Subject: I/O in BLOCK DATA Date: 2007 November 212 References: J3/07-007r3 Discussion The current text of paragraph 2 in 9.5.6.1 OPEN/General grants permission to have OPEN and other I/O statements in a BLOCK DATA program unit. Probably not intended. Edits to 07-007r3: [217:12-13] At the beginning of paragraph 2 in 9.5.6.1 OPEN/General, replace "program unit" with "executable program unit" twice.
