Well it is both the reserved word IF and the reserved word END that causes the
problem. And to my knowledge END-IF is not required in COBOL 85.

I tried adding an END-IF but the error remained.

Here is a brief program that shows both problems:

Both lines in the paragraph 100-LOOP are highlighted. The first
such line is highlighted from the word END to the period.
The second line is highlighted from the word IF to the period. There
is only one syntax file for COBOL, cobol.vim. There is also an indent
file named cobol.vim but I don't see an indent problem.
