I NEED THIS.

I really do not KNOW.

Based on the number of periods, a failed test should start AFTER the
\nMOVE CUCBOM-KIT (BKI)       TO  ADD-KIT.\n

Which contradicts the ovbious intended logic.
And NO, I cannot TEST this, it is a snippet of a 10,000 line
program that I don't even know how to compile, let alone run.

My inhouse COBOL person told me it starts on the MOVE, not
after it. Of course, he was talking with a VERY heavy
Russian accent, and I'm not really sure I ever understand
him.

He could not explain the issue of the PERIOD scoping.

My goal here is to pull enough business logic to duplicate
the functionality of this program. This means I will need
to get to the point where I will run the data against mine,
they run against theirs, and we compare.

when they are different (AND THEY WILL BE), I need to be able
to read enough of the COBOL to figure why.

But in this case, it feels like the COBOL program has
a bug. So can anyone tell me for sure?
