Making changes after installation: why customize?
When you install Enterprise COBOL, you receive IBM-supplied defaults for compiler options and phases, and for the reserved word table. You might want to customize Enterprise COBOL to better suit the needs of application programmers at your site.
After you install Enterprise COBOL, you can:
- Modify the default values of compiler options: see Planning to modify compiler option default values.
- Make compiler options fixed: see Making compiler options fixed.
- Modify the residency values of the compiler phases: see Planning to place compiler phases in shared storage.
- Create additional reserved word tables: see Planning to create an additional reserved word table.
