FP-ROUNDING  

Determines whether one floating-point receiving item can affect the
results of other, nonfloating-point receiving items.

Syntax:.   

[]
Parameters:. dialect Must be VSC2 or OSVS. Default:. NOFP-ROUNDING Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any Remarks:. In OS/VS COBOL and VS COBOL II, if any of the sending data items of an arithmetic statement are floating point, all receiving fields are rounded, regardless of the presence or absence of the ROUNDED phrase and regardless of whether or not the receiving fields are floating point. In VS COBOL II, if any receiving data item is defined as floating point, rounding takes place for all receiving data items regardless of the presence or absence of the ROUNDED phrase, of whether or not the receiving field is floating point, and of whether or not there are any sending items which are floating point. With NOFP-ROUNDING, no rounding takes place for fixed point targets in calculations involving floating point operands unless the ROUNDED phrase is explicitly used in the source. Example:. If two data items are defined as follows: 05 numeric-field pic 999. 05 floating-field comp-1. and the following statement is executed: compute numeric-field floating-field = 7.7 + 1 specifying FP-ROUNDING"VSC2" results in numeric-field containing 9 (rounded), whereas specifying NOFP-ROUNDING or FP-ROUNDING"OSVS" would result in numeric-field containing 8 (truncated). If, using the same two data items, the following statement is executed: compute numeric-field = +7.6E0 specifying FP-ROUNDING"VSC2" or FP-ROUNDING"OSVS" results in numeric-field containing 8 (rounded), whereas specifying NOFP-ROUNDING results in numeric-field containing 7 (truncated). GANIM Makes the Compiler produce extra information so that you can use Xilerator, available in an add-on product from Micro Focus. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOGANIM Phase:. Both Environment:. DOS, Windows and OS/2 $SET:. No Dependencies:. GANIM sets ANIM and NORNIM at end. If OPT"0", GANIM sets OPT"1" at end. Remarks:. Xilerator is a Micro Focus product used for debugging programs at the .exe or .gnt level. The Compiler produces an extra file with the extension .idy which contains information required by Xilerator. This is the same file that is used by Animator, but GANIM causes extra information to be added to the file which Xilerator needs. The .idy file created by this process can also be used to animate the program with Animator. GNT Specifies the name of the object code file. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. file-name A full file specification. Default:. GNT"source-name.gnt" (with OMF"GNT") GNT"source-name.obj" (with OMF"OBJ") Phase:. Generate Environment:. 16-bit $SET:. Any Dependencies:. OBJ and GNT are synonymous. Setting NOGNT also sets NOOBJ. Remarks:. With NOGNT, no object code file is produced. Setting this directive does not imply OMF"GNT". To ensure that your .gnt file contains .gnt format object code you must make sure that OMF"GNT" is also specified. GNTANLZ This directive is reserved for use with add-on products. Do not change its setting unless you have the appropriate add-on product. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. count-type the type of count needed Default:. NOGNTANLZ Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Initial Remarks:. Possible values for count-type are: COUNT Count the number of times each block of code is executed TICK For each block of code, set the count to one when it is executed. This uses less memory than COUNT. HIDEMESSAGE HIDE-MESSAGE Registers the number of a syntax check error message to hide so that if the error is encountered it is ignored. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. integer The number of the syntax check error message to hide. Default:. NOHIDEMESSAGE Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any Remarks:. HIDEMESSAGE"integer" adds integer to a list of up to 20 syntax check error message numbers. To hide several error message numbers using this feature, you must use the HIDEMESSAGE directive repeatedly. When the program is being syntax checked, any message with severity E, W, I, or flag with its number in the list is not shown in any listing. It is not included in the error summary at the end of the compilation. All levels of error are affected by this directive. Messages with severity S or U are always shown, even if their number appears in this list. NOHIDEMESSAGE clears the list of numbers so no messages are hidden. HOST-NUMCOMPARE Controls the operation of comparisons between integer numeric data items of USAGE DISPLAY and alphanumeric literals or figurative constants. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOHOST-NUMCOMPARE Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any Remarks:. If the ZWB directive is also specified, HOST-NUMCOMPARE only affects comparisons involving unsigned numeric data items. If NOZWB is specified, HOST-NUMCOMPARE affects comparisons involving both signed and unsigned data items. If HOST-NUMCOMPARE is specified, affected comparisons are treated as if the numeric data item were redefined as an alphanumeric item of the same length, and the comparison made against this redefinition. If NOHOST-NUMCOMPARE is specified, the numeric field is first moved to an elementary alphanumeric data item of the same size, and the content of this alphanumeric item is then compared to the literal. The HOST-NUMCOMPARE directive only affects comparisons where the numeric data item contains non-numeric data at the time of the comparison. See also:. ZWB HOST-NUMMOVE Causes the Compiler to switch off checking for illegal characters in numeric fields (run-time error 163) during the execution of certain MOVE statements. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOHOST-NUMMOVE Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any Remarks:. The HOST-NUMMOVE directive is Early User Syntax support. You must use the EARLY-RELEASE directive to enable this feature. This directive may change or be removed in a later revision of this product. This directive is provided to improve compatibility with IBM mainframe compilers. However, although this directive causes the error to be suppressed, the result of moving the invalid data is not the same as on the mainframe. See also:. EARLY-RELEASE, RTS error 163 IBM-MS Specifies that words reserved in IBM COBOL 1.00 are to be regarded as reserved words, and changes the behavior of certain features to be compatible with that product. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOIBM-MS Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Initial Dependencies:. IBM-MS sets DEFAULTBYTE"0" and ACCEPTFRESH immediately. Remarks:. This directive is synonymous with the PC1 and MS"1" directives. IBMCOMP Turns on word-storage mode. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOIBMCOMP Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Initial Dependencies:. IBMCOMP sets ALIGN"8" immediately Remarks:. In word-storage mode every data item of USAGE COMP or COMP-5 occupies either two bytes or a multiple of four bytes. If you specify IBMCOMP and you use the SYNCHRONIZED clause on any items defined as USAGE COMP or COMP-5 in your program, do not specify ALIGN"1". IDXFORMAT Specifies the format to use when creating indexed files. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. integer Must be between 0 and 6. Default:. IDXFORMAT"0" Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any Dependencies:. Set to IDXFORMAT"integer" immediately by FILETYPE"integer" Remarks:. The possible values of integer are: 0 System specific default (for this COBOL system, same as 3). 1 C-ISAM format. 2 Micro Focus Level II format. 3 The format used by this COBOL system. 4 An optimized form of the format used by this system, for fast duplicate key handling. 5 Btrieve format (with ANSI conformance emulation). 6 Btrieve format (without ANSI conformance emulation). Existing files in any of the given formats are processed correctly without the need for this directive. This directive controls the format used when creating new files. Specifying 3 always causes the format used by this system to be created. But if you specify 0, and you are using your program with a file handler from a different system, the default for that system is created. Specifying 4 might make the files larger than their IDXFORMAT"3" equivalents. Micro Focus Level II format files are compatible with Micro Focus products such as Level II COBOL, Professional COBOL v.1.2, and VS COBOL Workbench versions up to and including v.1.3. You must not use the ANS85 directive to enable ANSI'85 behavior when using IDXFORMAT"2". However, you can use ANS85"SYNTAX" to enable ANSI'85 syntax. INCLUDE-FILLER Causes information regarding FILLER data items to be stored in the .idy file. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOINCLUDE-FILLER Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any Remarks:. INCLUDE-FILLER makes FILLER data items visible to tools in add-on products from Micro Focus. Including these data items increases the size of the .idy file. INFORETURN Specifies the return-code value returned by the Compiler when it produces only informational messages. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. integer Must be between 0 and 4. Default:. INFORETURN"0" Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any Remarks:. When the Compiler terminates it returns a value that can be tested by an operating system command to determine the success or otherwise of the compilation. The values for termination are described in your COBOL System Reference. This directive allows you to set the value to be returned if the Compiler only outputs informational messages. INITCALL Specifies modules to be called immediately before the first statement of the program is executed. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. module The module to be called. priority The priority to assign to the execution of the module. Default:. NOINITCALL Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Initial Remarks:. The possible values of priority are: H High priority (the default if no priority is specified) L Low priority Specifying INITCALL causes the Compiler to insert a call to the named module. At run time, the module specified is called before any procedural code is executed. You cannot pass parameters to the called module. To call several modules using this feature, you must use the INITCALL directive repeatedly. NOINITCALL clears the list of modules to be called. Calls specified with a high priority are placed before all calls with a low priority, as well as other calls made by the Compiler. Low priority calls are placed after other calls made by the Compiler. Calls with the same priority are executed in the order they are specified. INT Specifies the name of the intermediate code file. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. file-name A full file specification. Default:. INT"source-name.int" Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. No Dependencies:. NOINT sets NOANIM and NOSTRUCT immediately Remarks:. This directive is reserved for use with add-on products supplied by Micro Focus. Do not change its setting unless you have an appropriate add-on product. When no .obj file is required from the Compiler, or when the ANIM directive is used, an intermediate code file is produced. This directive specifies the name for that file. If you specify an existing file, it is overwritten. If no file-name is specified, the Compiler uses the source file-name with the extension .int. NOINT prevents the intermediate code file being produced. INT() causes intermediate code to be put in the standard file source-name.int. With this format you must use parentheses not quotation marks; that is, INT " " does not give this result. Use the INT directive with caution. Incorrect use can abort the compilation process. INTLEVEL When intermediate code is being created by the Compiler, this directive controls the level of portability of the code created to different versions of Micro Focus products in other environments. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. integer Specifies the level of portability. Can be 1 or 2. Default:. INTLEVEL"2" Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. No Remarks:. This directive is reserved for use with add-on products supplied by Micro Focus. Do not change its setting unless you have the add-on products. Full details of intermediate code portability are included with the relevant Micro Focus add-on products. NOINTLEVEL causes intermediate code to be created that is suitable for execution only in this environment. INTLEVEL"integer" creates intermediate code that can be executed by some versions of Micro Focus products in other environments. For portability between environments, the value of integer used for compilation must be supported by the Micro Focus product on each environment on which you wish to execute the intermediate code. INTLEVEL"integer" can limit the syntax that can be used in your program. IOCONV Causes a straight group move for READ...INTO and WRITE...FROM operations. Normally, the ANSI behavior is to convert elementary record descriptions when required. It is provided for backwards compatibility. Syntax:.
[]
Default:. IOCONV Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any JAPANESE Enables the use of Micro Focus Japanese Language Extension (PIC N, Japanese data-names and Japanese procedure-names). Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. integer Must be 1 or 2. The level of support required. Default:. NOJAPANESE Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Initial Remarks:. The possible values of integer are: 1 Compatibility with previous versions of Nihongo Micro Focus products 2 Enhanced PIC N support. This setting enables the DBSPACE directive. Specifying JAPANESE with no parameter is the same as specifying JAPANESE"2". This directive is provided for compatibility purposes only. It has been replaced by the NCHAR directive. JAPANESE and NCHAR are synonymous. The JAPANESE and DBCS directives are mutually exclusive. See also:. DBCS, DBSPACE, NCHAR KEYCOMPRESS Specifies the type of key compression to be done on indexed files. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. integer Must be between 1 and 7. Default:. NOKEYCOMPRESS Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any Remarks:. The possible values of integer are: 1 Suppress repetitions of duplicate keys. 2 Suppress leading characters that are the same as in the previous key. 4 Suppress trailing spaces. You can specify any combination of these numbers by adding these values together. You need specify key compression only when creating the file. Subsequently, the key compression is detected when the file is opened. To get key compression on an individual file, use $SET statements in your source so that this directive is in effect only for the part of the source containing the relevant KEY clause in the file's SELECT statement.
