Overview
The Native Code Generator translates intermediate code (.int) files into
generated code (.gnt) file or into whatever type of file was specified on
the cob command line. See Chapter 2 , COBOL System Interface for
details on the cob command.
When you invoke the Native Code Generator, a number of options are
available for controlling the way your program is generated. These
options are specified using directives. You can enter directives
individually on the cob command line, in the $COBDIR/cobopt file or in
the $COBOPT environment variable. Generator directives cannot be set
from source code; however, some compiler directives (which can be set
from source code) implicitly set associated generator directives. See
Appendix G , Descriptions of Compiler/Generator Directives for
details.
The
Error Messages manual contains a list of errors which may occur during
generation. For example, if your program contains a CHAIN statement
which includes a subscripted item greater than 8K as a USING field,
unpredictable results occur at run time, and the Generator error message:
Illegal intermediate code
will be output.
