GnuCOBOL 補充道

======================================== ==========
FUNCTION CONCATENATE                     Variable
FUNCTION SUBSTITUTE                      Variable
FUNCTION SUBSTITUTE-CASE                 Variable
======================================== ==========

除非 source(或編譯時選項)包含,否則關鍵字 FUNCTION 是必需的

ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
CONFIGURATION SECTION.
REPOSITORY.
    FUNCTION ALL INTRINSIC.

ALL INTRINSIC 可以是 PROCEDURE DIVISION 語句中沒有 FUNCTION 字首的函式列表。

LENGTH 函式具有已排序的歷史記錄。有些編譯器包含一個 LENGTH 保留字。對於 GnuCOBOL,此保留字僅在短語 LENGTH OF 中使用時才被識別,OF 令牌需要消除該功能與較舊的保留字副檔名的歧義。
