Compiler Options
This section describes the compiler options which you specify before a
compilation and which deal with input to the compiler, the compilation
activity, and the listings and object modules produced by the compiler.
These options apply to all the host
IBM
5280 COBOL compilers.
You can indicate which options you want in effect during a compilation in
three ways:
1. By accepting the default options and making no specifications at all. A list
of the compiler options and their defaults is shown in figure 7.5; a detailed
explanation of each option is given in the sections that follow.
2. For OSjVS, by specifying the option in the PARM statement of the
EXEC statement (as described earlier in this chapter); the PARM
specifications override the default options provided by IBM.
3. By specifying the option in the *PROCESS statement (described earlier in
this Chapter under "Multiple Compilation - the *PROCESS
Statement"); the *PROCESS specifications override both the defaults
provided by IBM and, for OS jVS, options coded in the PARM field. By
specifying options in the *PROCESS statements, you can vary the options
for a series of source modules being compiled in the same job.
