COBOL program does not compile under TSS

[ghost]

COBOL program gets EOF NO LABEL during batch compile under TSS:

? USER=TERRY
? COMPILE 0COB/TERRY WITH COBOL FOR LIBRARY
? DATA CARD

There are several COBOL syntax errors in this program:

• The "*" for a comment must be in column 7 of the card. The first line of the program is treated as a comment, since it comes before IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
• ENVIRONMENT DIVISION is required, as is its subordinate CONFIGURATION SECTION, SOURCE-COMPUTER, and OBJECT-COMPUTER paragraphs. Also the INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION is required with its FILE-CONTROL paragraph (which may be empty, however). I think the reason for this is that it was difficult to conceive of a COBOL program at that time that wouldn't have files or local data. It wasn't until (I think) the COBOL-85 standard that those elements became completely optional.
• The last line of the program must be the paragraph label, "END-OF-JOB."

The following deck compiles and executes:

? USER=PAUL
? COMPILE 0COB/PAUL WITH COBOL FOR LIBRARY
? DATA CARD
