/ANSI_FORMAT /NOANSI_FORMAT (D) Indicates that the source program is in conventional ANSI format. The compiler then expects 80-character card image records with optional sequence numbers in character positions 1 through 6, indicators in position 7, Area A beginning in position 8, Area B beginning in position 12, and the identification area in positions 73 through 80. The default, /NOANSI_FORMAT, indicates that the source program is in VSI COBOL terminal format, where Area A begins in position 1, Area B begins in position 5, and the source program records do not have line numbers.
