National Body Comments:

Germany
DIN accepts the corrections proposed in SC 22 N 3891.

We would like to draw the attention of SC 22 to the following
inconsistencies or minor errors which need to be corrected before
publication of the Technical Corrigendum:

Item 14 page 454 GOBACK statement
Syntax rule  4) a) b) c)  this text is copied from the EXIT statement, but
here the word EXIT should be replaced by GOBACK.

Syntax rule 6) should be numbered 5)

Item 17 last line referencing page 567 :
This is not part of item 17 but a main item ( should get number 18)

Japan
Item 14 (of TC2)

In the rules to be added to 14.8.17.2, GOBACK statement, Syntax Rule

4)b) must be modified.  Delete the following portion, which is the last part
of this one sentence rule.

  "... and the presence or absence of the FACTORY phrase is the same

  in the data description entry of identifier-1 as in the RAISING

  phrase of the procedure division header of the containing source

  element." 

INCITS J4 document J4/04-0199, Typos in EXIT and SET statements (Mr. Ab de
Lange), asks for the very same modification to one of the rules for EXIT
statement, since the combination of 'interface-name' and a FACTORY phrase is
not possible.  INCITS J4 approved 04-0199 as written for inclusion in the
Project Editor Change Proposal at J4 meeting 249.

Although the intention of item 14 of TC2 is to copy some rules for EXIT
statement and put them as the rules for GOBACK statement, such an apparent
error in the original should not be duplicated.

United States

1)    Change the page number to 393.  

2)    Add more words to the citation in which the change is to be made so
that it is uniquely identifiable:  change "raised" to "raised by a RAISE
statement".
