COBOL/400 Language Help


Compiler-Directing Statements

Description
The compiler's main job is to translate your COBOL program into language that the computer can process (object code). The compiler also lists errors in your source statements and provides supplementary information to aid you in debugging and tuning your program. You can direct and control compilation with compiler-directing statements.

A compiler-directing statement begins with a compiler-directing verb that causes the compiler to perform a specific operation during compilation.
