Gary is correct that this isn't allowed.
The upcoming 2.0 release will support this if -frelaxed-syntax is used
(which is used in every case you compile with -std=mf) as MicroFocus
allows this. The code is in rw-branch already (not sure for now if it's
checking relaxed syntax or not, but the compiler will do so.
BTW: Gary please contact me to discuss placing the programmer's guide
under svn control and ship it together with GnuCOBOL. Thank you.

The statement that REWRITE is allowed (pg 80) is incorrect (a copy/paste
oversight). Neither "OPEN I-O" nor "REWRITE" are allowed with LINE
SEQUENTIAL files (which are meant to be print files). The compiler
clearly flags both as errors if they are attempted.

Page 80 of the manual says that REWRITE can be
used for line sequential files. page 437 says the
opposite.
If REWRITE is legitimate then I assume that the
file can be opened in I-O mode.
