  /RESERVED_WORDS[=(option[,...])]
  /RESERVED_WORDS=XOPEN            (D)

  Controls whether the compiler recognizes certain COBOL words as
  reserved words.

  You can select the following option:

  [NO]XOPEN       Controls whether or not the compiler recognizes
                  reserved words defined by the COBOL X/Open
                  Portability Guide.  Use /RESERVED_WORDS=NOXOPEN
                  if your program uses one or more of the X/Open
                  reserved words as an identifier.  The default is
                  /RESERVED_WORDS=XOPEN.

                  The X/Open reserved words are as follows:

                    AUTO                       FULL
                    BACKGROUND-COLOR           HIGHLIGHT
                    BELL                       LOWLIGHT
                    BLINK                      REQUIRED
                    EOL                        RETURN-CODE
                    EOS                        REVERSE-VIDEO
                    ERASE                      SCREEN
                    FOREGROUND-COLOR           SECURE
                                               UNDERLINE

  [NO]FOREIGN_EXTENSIONS
                  Controls whether or not the compiler recognizes
                  reserved words used by foreign extensions
                  (language constructs that are not part of HP
                  COBOL). Use /RESERVED_WORDS=FOREIGN_EXTENSIONS
                  if you want the compiler to output specific
                  diagnostics of foreign extensions to assist
                  you in porting to VSI COBOL from other COBOL
                  dialects.  Do not use this option if your
                  program uses any of the foreign_extensions
                  reserved words as user-defined words.

                  The reserved words that are recognized for
                  foreign_extensions are:

                    ADDRESS             OTHERWISE
                    CHANGED             PASSWORD
                    CORE-INDEX          POSITIONING
                    DBCS                RECORDING
                    DISP                RECORD-OVERFLOW
                    DISPLAY-1           RELOAD
                    EJECT               REMARKS
                    ENTRY               REORG-CRITERIA
                    EXAMINE             RETURNING
                    EXHIBIT             SERVICE
                    GOBACK              SKIP1
                    ID                  SKIP2
                    KANJI               SKIP3
                    NAMED               TRACE
                    NOTE                TRANSFORM

  [NO]200X        Controls whether or not the compiler recognizes
                  selected reserved words defined by the ANSI-200x
                  draft standard.  Use /RESERVED_WORDS=NO200X if
                  your program uses one or more of these reserved
                  words as an identifier.  The default is
                  /RESERVED_WORDS=NO200X.

                  The selected ANSI-200x draft standard reserved words
                  are as follows:

                    BINARY-CHAR         FLOAT-LONG
                    BINARY-DOUBLE       FLOAT-SHORT
                    BINARY-LONG         OPTIONS
                    BINARY-SHORT        SIGNED
                    COL                 SYMBOL
                    FLOAT-EXTENDED      UNSIGNED
