NUM
NUM affects whether source-program line numbers are used in error messages and procedure maps.
- Default
- NUM=NO
- YES
- Uses the line numbers from the source program rather than compiler-generated line numbers in error messages and procedure maps.
- NO
- Uses the compiler-generated line numbers in error messages and procedure maps.
If COBOL programmers use COPY statements and NUM=YES is in effect, they must ensure that the source program line numbers and the COPY member line numbers are coordinated.
