Compiler options syntax and descriptions
The syntax diagrams in the following topics describe each modifiable compiler option. The text after each diagram describes the effect of selecting a specific parameter.
Note:
- The DUMP option is not in this list. Unless you change DUMP at compile time, it is always set to NODUMP. This option is not for general use; it is used only at the request of an IBM® representative.
- The OPTFILE option is not in this list. It can be specified only as a compiler invocation PARM option, or in a PROCESS or CBL statement in the COBOL source program.
- Coding the asterisk (
*
) when you modify a compiler option default value indicates that the option is to be fixed and cannot be overridden by an application programmer.
