some bean-counter decided that the extra messages (compiler errors displayed at the line of error) were unnecessary and assured uppermanagement that .00087 percent of the daily elapsed time would be reduced.

That is where TS is searching. The messages are not embedded in the source of the compile listing (IIRC).

Not all versions of the COBOL compiler do that!

Yup. Maybe TS has changed organizations recently or the compiler has been modified. . .

To me, it sounded like the embedded messagres had "gone away" and this was the question/concern.

From the e-COBOL Pgmr's Guide here:

2.4.23 FLAG Option

FLAG(x,y)

where x reports errors at the end of list whose severity is x or above
y embeds errors in the source list whose severity is y or above
