Wrong. Fujitsu 3.0 is a fine compiler. It is fully compliant to
COBOL-85 (and prior) standards.

But what happens when I write a program and the users complain it doesn't

Screw 'em. Since, as a programmer, you can't please everyone, just
please yourself. In so doing, you could claim: "That's the way the
complier works. You have to live with it."
