    Might have to do a few of these. Longest sentence, then specifics, longest MOVE sentence, longest IF, ... With DISPLAY it can get relatively long in meandering ways, not necessarily just using alternating OF IN, I like the idea of an alternating IN OF challenge to. But I expect the eventual winner will be able to write a many word sentence, that reads well.

    Excuse the old reply, and this is not a warning just meant for Mickey. ;-) A recommendation for anyone on a Linux command line: Run things like ./configure, make, make all, make checkand almost all build commands as you. Nothing but user privilege for those parts of build from source. Then once happy with tweaking things to get past errors and warnings (usually missing dependencies - or soon to be mentioned work in progress bug potentials), run make install as sudo make install. Run the few commands...

    Using data division hierarchies and COBOL keywords like IN, OF, to write the longest possible grammatically correct and reasonably readable sentence that compiles and then produces 42 as output. For example: not that long, sad example... ```cobol *> let the data division be as codey looking as it needs to be 01 cubicles. 02 desks. 03 cup-holders. 04 things. 05 condition value 42. procedure division. > the goal is a meaningful executable sentence, > as long as possible, this is not it display condition...
