HP Micro Focus COBOL/iX Implementation Notes

Restrictions 

   *   You cannot have a file called COBOL.DIR on your system.

   *   The only options that you can use with the -CC flag are options
       that are used by the C compiler.  This is because HP Micro Focus
       COBOL/iX assumes that if you are using the cob command to compile
       a C program (rather than the c89 command) you are linking the C
       program to HP Micro Focus COBOL/iX programs.  In order to link the
       programs, HP Micro Focus COBOL/iX requires the .o file that the C
       compiler outputs.  HP Micro Focus COBOL/iX links that file to
       other object modules to create a HP Micro Focus COBOL/iX
       executable file.  Do not use options that the C compiler normally
       passes on to the system linker.

   *   The CHARSET=EBCDIC compiler directive is not supported in HP Micro
       Focus COBOL/iX.

   *   The -B cob flag is not supported in HP Micro Focus COBOL/iX.
