cobol => ALTER uttalande

Anmärkningar

Det mycket älskade ALTER-uttalandet. Ändrar målet för ett GO TO-stycke.

Inte längre en del av COBOL-standarden, fortfarande stöds av många kompilatorer på grund av bakåtkompatibilitet. (Syntaxdiagrammet är nedtonat för att visa att detta inte längre är standard COBOL).
