Hi,
What is EXHIBIT? Can anyone tell me what does the EXHIBIT commend do in the COBOL? Is it applicable to all releases of Cobol?

Enter the following in the Google search box
. The first hit I got would answer your question for IBM.

EXHIBIT was in IBM's ANS and OS/VS COBOL compilers (perhaps earlier ones as well). It disappeared when COBOL II arrived (along with EXAMINE and TRANSFORM). I think they were all IBM Language Extensions.
If you come across them in code, the programs have likely not been changed for a long time. Following Nic's suggestion will tell you how to replace the code if necessary.

Thanks William.
Thanks nicc but I did that and came here to discuss with similar minds. I think we can find everything on internet of this sort but we don't get like minded people who can understand and talk with us starters to make us understand.
