Fips Or Nofips; Flag Or Noflag - IBM 5280 Programmer's Manual

FIPS or NOFIPS
FLAG or NOFLAG
Compiler Options
OBJECT Option DECK Option Object Module Record Size
NOOBJECT NODECK No module produced
NOOBJECT* DECK 80 bytes
OBJECT NODECK 128 bytes
OBJECT DECK 80 bytes
The default option is NODECK.
LI*Notel: When NOOBJECT and DECK are specified for the compilation, the
compiler changes NOOBJECT to OBJECT, and produces an object module.
LINote 2: When compiling more than one source program in the same job, either
DECK or NODECK must apply to all the programs being compiled; likewise,
OBJECT or NOOBJECT must apply to all the programs. Specify the desired
option in a *PROCESS statement before the first program, or, for OS/VS, in
the PARM field of the EXEC statement.
LINote 3: If an overlay program is created with the DECK option, it can only be
executed when the data set(s) containing the program has a record length of
80. That is, the program cannot later be copied or reformatted to a different
record length. Also, a program created with NODECK can only reside in
data sets having a record length of 128.
When you specify this option, the compiler will issue a warning message when
it finds COBOL statements that don't conform to certain levels of the Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS); you specify the level of FIPS, as
documented in FIPS PUB 21-1, dated 1975 December 1, the compiler is to
use as follows:
FIPS(L) causes the compiler to issue a warning message when it finds
language extensions above Low Level COBOL.
FIPS(LI) causes the compiler to issue a warning message when it finds
language extensions above Low Intermediate Level COBOL.
The default option is NOFIPS.
With the flag option, you specify the types of diagnostic messages the
compiler is to issue after finding an error condition. The default is FLAG(I)
(all messages will be issued if you don't specify one of the other FLAG options
described below).
