- Prefix the text with icons. This book uses the following icons:
>_Host_> Informs you of information specific to COBOL for OS/390 & VM. <_Host_<

>_AIX_> Informs you of information specific to COBOL Set for AIX. <_AIX_<
>_OS/2_> Informs you of information specific to VisualAge COBOL, under OS/2 only. <_OS/2_<
