COBOL V5 optimization definitely removes unreachable code, but it is so different from the V4 optimizer that it may report differently. In fact, in the early days (of developing COBOL V5) we were getting messages for deleted code at OPT(0), which we have since corrected (we no longer delete code at OPT(0)) The COBOL V3/V4 optimizer did not always report unreachable code deletion, but we are interested in cases where V4 flagged it and V5 does not, so please open PMRs if you find such cases!
