Set the DIALECT"RM" directive in the project's properties so that it applies to all programs within the project unless you
               explicitly override it at the program level.

                  		   Right-click your project in the COBOL Explorer view and select 
                  			 Properties. 
                  		   
                  		    
                  			 
                  The 
                     				Properties for <project-name> dialog box appears.

                  The COBOL settings appear in the right-hand pane.

                  		  In the 
                  			 Language Dialect field, select 
                  			 RM/COBOL.

                  The RM/COBOL dialect is applied to any program within the project, unless that program overrides it by setting the DIALECT
                     directive explicitly within the source code.
