| AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | #99740
The AMT COBOL parser has been updated to support the COBOL legacy ON For example: ON 1 MOVE A TO C ELSE MOVE B TO C. This statement is now correctly parsed and handled. |

| AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | #100312
Previously, the REEL option for the CLOSE statement for files in AMT COBOL was not supported. The REEL option is now accepted by the parser for compatibility purposes. However, it is not generated into runtime code, as the option is not applicable in AMT. |
FIX | AMT 171 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Generator | Various | #100972
In AMT COBOL, using a GOTO statement with a section as its target could cause the generator to stop with a null reference exception when the section contained no label. This issue has been fixed, and the generator now handles such cases without failing. |
FIX | AMT 171 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Developer | Various | #100973
An issue was fixed where the COBOL optimizer could enter an infinite loop when it encountered a CICS statement following a CICS HANDLE CONDITION statement. The optimizer has been enhanced to prevent infinite loops within CICS HANDLE CONDITION statement processing. |
FIX | AMT 171 | MEDIUM |
| AMT COBOL | Developer | Code Logic | #102334
The COBOL parser did not previously support the THAN operand when used after a relational operator symbol. For example: IF A < THAN B PERFORM C ELSE PERFORM D. The parser now correctly accepts and processes this syntax. |
FIX | AMT 171 | MEDIUM |
