For Students, Free Format is the best.

G'day everyone
Just letting you know that I've created a gnu-cobol track on
Exercism.org .
As I get going on this I have some questions:
1. Should I insist on free-format or standard format for students'
code?
2. Is there are preferred unit test framework? I've discovered three.
Most of the other languages have a minimum of 20 exercises before
moving off into more creative tasks. I could do with some suggestions
re tasks that introduce the student to the data processing
capabilities of COBOL. Simply re-expressing all the VB.NET (for
example) exercises in COBOL seems a bit pointless.
Kind regards,
Bruce.
