What about FULL-STOPS

I remember writing a very small COBOL program (back in the Jurassic period, I think it was) of around 100 lines. I missed ONE full-stop out, leading to 400+ error messages!!!

I inserted the offending missed full-stop ( by replacing the erroneous 80 column punched card ) and all the errors disappeared.

Nice!!
