Amazing. Thanks for such a quick response. I put tag_parser=COBOL and restarted Geany. Now it works. Now I need to go and expand the tag file with all the words I wanted :-)
I haven't seen a simpleton tutorial anywhere where this is detailed as a step by step. May be I will write one and post it somewhere. Thanks again for rapid response and help.
