The DATE-COMPILED Paragraph
Syntax
Format
DATE-COMPILED. comment-entry.
Description
The DATE-COMPILED paragraph is used to document the last time that the program was compiled. DATE-COMPILED is in Area A followed by a period. The actual date will be supplied by the compiler at compile time, so no additional entry is necessary.
Tips
1. This paragraph has been marked for removal from the COBOL language, because the information is usually provided in the heading on the listing produced by the compiler.
2. You can include this paragraph in a program to be compiled on a compiler from which the paragraph has been removed by including *'s in column 7.
