[net.general] COBOL 77's?

pvl (02/15/83)

I was asked to taeach a COBOL class for a community education program
(notice that I DIDN'T pick the language).  In preparing, I began to
wonder why COBOL bothers with 77's as opposed to elementary 01's.
Is there some real effect in the compiled code or is it just for
documentation?
