Acknowledgement
The language specifications of COBOL are based on the original specifications developed by the work of the COnference on DAta SYstems Languages (CODASYL). The specifications described in this manual are also derived from the original. The following passages are quoted at the request of CODASYL.
"COBOL is an industry language and is not the property of any company or group of companies, or of any organization or group of organizations. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made by the COBOL Committee as to the accuracy and functioning of the programming system and language. Moreover, no responsibility is assumed by the committee, in connection therewith.
The authors of the following copyrighted material have authorized the use of this material in part in the COBOL specifications. Such authorization extends to the use of the original specifications in other COBOL specifications:
FLOW-MATIC (Trademark of Sperry Rand Corporation), Programming for the Univac(R) I and II, Data Automation Systems, copyrighted 1958, 1959, by Sperry Rand Corporation.
IBM Commercial Translator, Form No. F28-8013, copyrighted 1959 by International Business Machines Corporation.

The object-oriented language specification for COBOL is currently being discussed as one of the new functions for the Forth COBOL International Standards by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG4 and NCITS J4 Technology Committees. The object-oriented language specification for COBOL is based on the draft standards resulting from the efforts made to date by the committee. We would like to express our special thanks to those committees for their efforts and dedication, now that we offer COBOL.
The language specifications related to object-oriented programming are subject to change since upgrading efforts on the standard is still in progress. Fujitsu will continue to support updates of these standards until they are finalized, in addition to those described in the "NetCOBOL Language Reference."
