Hello,
Read the program skipping everything until PROCEDURE DIVISION is reached.
Continue reading, skipping all comments.
If there is code in the A-margin, it is a line you want (this will be paragraphs and sections).
There may be more considerations, but that should get you started. |

You cannot use cobol terms to explain something to people that do not understand cobol. |
