Hello,
I'm new to cobol, just want to see what the lang is like, compile a few
programs, learn syntax etc.

I have got two programs, the first is Calculator.cob with code below.
        $ SET SOURCEFORMAT"FREE"
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. Selection-Program.

DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 Num1 PIC 9 VALUE ZEROS.
01 Num2 PIC 9 VALUE ZEROS.
01 Result PIC 99 VALUE ZEROS.
01 Operator PIC X VALUE SPACE.

PROCEDURE DIVISION.
Calculator.
        ACCEPT Num1.
        ACCEPT Num2.
        ACCEPT Operator
        IF Operator = "+" THEN
                ADD Num1, Num2 GIVING Result
        END-IF
        IF Operator = "*" THEN
                MULTIPLY Num1 BY Num2 GIVING RESULT
        END-IF
        DISPLAY "Result is = ", Result
        STOP RUN.

The second is SmallestProgram.cob:

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. SmallestProgram.

PROCEDURE DIVISION.
DisplayPrompt.
     DISPLAY "I did it".
     STOP RUN.

I am trying to compile them with the COBOL650 and Fujitsu COBOL 3.0
however the Fugitsu displays a really wrong error and the 650 doesnt do
anything.

Could you please provide me with some help on this matter ASAP as I
would really like to be able to compile these programs.

Thankyou

Ben
