COBOPERATOR1 will take full COBOL programs... example try putting in: COBOPERATOR1: IDENTIFICATION DIVISION. PROGRAM-ID. HELLO-WORLD. PROCEDURE DIVISION. DISPLAY "Hello World". STOP RUN. (1 line) My theory is that we can use this to change the date thus making COBOCOP happy, but my attempts accidentally crashed COBOPERATOR1, and got me banned by COBOLORD. No more play for me :-( Come all... save Ruby from this menace!
