The build descriptor option initIORecords specifies whether the generated COBOL program initializes global records that are used in I/O operations. Valid values are YES and NO. The default is YES.
The option initIORecords is meaningful only when you are generating a COBOL program. If you specify the initialized property when declaring a global record, the property takes precedence over the build descriptor option. Also, this build descriptor option has no effect on records that are not used in I/O operations.
For details on initialization, see Data initialization.
