• I suppose this breaks how COBOL works

    Imagine a day when this is possible (don't imagine it too long if it causes inordinate levels of anxiety):
    WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
    01 WS-MODULUS USAGE SIGNED-INT.
    88 DIVIDES-EVENLY-BY-4 VALUE WS-MODULUS MOD 4 = 0.
    Yeah, I know, it breaks the whole separation of concerns thing, bringing the procedure division into the data division and generally meaning that the programmer has to watch both what's going on in the procedure division AND procedurally in the data
    division.

    It's just a day-mare.
