本标准规定了:
---COBOL 中编译组的书写形式;
---编译一个编译组的效果;
---执行运行单元的效果;
---要求符合性实现满足其定义的语言元素;
---含义未显式定义的语言元素;
---依赖处理器性能的语言元素。
本标准没有规定:
---COBOL 中书写的编译组,处理器以何种方式把它们编译成可执行代码;
---方法?函数或程序运行时模块连接或绑定到一个激活语句上的时间,当适当的程序或方法在编译时不可知时,绑定必然发生的情况除外;
---参数化的类何时被扩充;
---在处理器上定义一个本地环境并使它可用的机制;
---错误信息、标记信息或警告信息的形式或内容;
---编译时产生的形式和内容列表(若有的话);

Scope

This standard specifies the syntax and semantics of COBOL. This standard specifies: - the written form of compilation groups in COBOL; - the effects of compiling a compilation group; - the effects of executing a runtime unit; —Language elements that depend on processor performance. This standard does not specify: — compilation groups written in COBOL, the manner in which the processor compiles them into executable code; — when a method, function or program is run by a module linked or bound to an activation statement, when appropriate except where binding must occur when the program or method is not known at compile time; - when a parameterized class is extended; - the mechanism for defining a locale on the processor and making it available; - error messages, flags the form or content of information or warning messages; — the form and content listing (if any) produced at compile time; — the form of documentation proposed by the implementer for products conforming to this standard; — resources shared between operating units, except for files .
