Descriptions of Directives (cont.) 

RNIM  

Causes Animator to be invoked instead of the Compiler.

Syntax:.   

[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NORNIM Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. No Dependencies:. RNIM sets NOLIST, NOANIM and NOXREF immediately. Set to NORNIM at end by GANIM. Remarks:. The effect is as if you had invoked Animator in the normal way. You must have already compiled the program using the ANIM directive to prepare it for animation. You can use Animator directives with RNIM. With RNIM, no object file is produced by default. See also:. Animator Directives RTNCODE-SIZE Specifies the size of the RETURN-CODE special register and its alignment in memory. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. integer 2 or 4. Default:. RTNCODE-SIZE"2" Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Initial Dependencies:. Set to RTNCODE-SIZE"4" immediately by XOPEN Remarks:. The possible values of integer are: 2 PIC S9(4) COMP: size two bytes, aligned on a two-byte boundary. 4 PIC S9(8) COMP: size four bytes, aligned on a four-byte boundary. If a program with a four-byte RETURN-CODE calls a program with a two-byte RETURN-CODE, then on return the value from the called program is in the lower two bytes of the four-byte RETURN CODE. The content of the upper two bytes is undefined. If a program with a two-byte RETURN-CODE calls a program with a four-byte RETURN-CODE, then on return the lower two bytes of the value from the called program are in the two-byte RETURN-CODE. The content of the upper two bytes is lost. SAA Specifies that words reserved under the Systems Application Architecture (SAA) definition of COBOL are to be treated as reserved words. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. level An integer specifying the level of SAA support required. Default:. NOSAA Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Initial Dependencies:. SAA sets DBSPACE and DBCS"2" immediately. SAA sets ANS85 at end. Remarks:. The possible values of level are: 1 SAA level 1 supported 2 SAA level 2 supported Specifying SAA with no parameters is the same as specifying SAA"2". SEG Turns on COBOL segmentation. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. SEG Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Initial Remarks:. With NOSEG, the Compiler treats all section numbers in the code as if they were zero. This means that the Compiler ignores segmentation and creates one program with no overlays. SEGCROSS Tells the Compiler which Linkage Section records cross segment boundaries. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. integers One or more integers giving the ordinal positions of Linkage Section items. Default:. NOSEGCROSS (for a program with less than 64K of its own data) SEGCROSS (for a program with 64K or more of its own data) Phase:. Generate Environment:. 16-bit $SET:. Initial Remarks:. integers must be separated by commas, and must be enclosed in quotation marks. They cannot be enclosed in parentheses. If a program has less than 64K of its own data, the Compiler assumes that any parameters passed into the program do not cross segment boundaries. If this is not the case, SEGCROSS"integer" must be specified for all Linkage Section items that might cross a segment boundary. If a program has 64K or more of its own data, the Compiler assumes that Linkage Section items do cross segment boundaries. You can specify NOSEGCROSS"integer" for any Linkage Section item that does not cross a segment boundary. This results in more efficient code. With NOSEGCROSS, the code generated follows the rules given under the SMALLDD directive. With SEGCROSS"integer-1, integer-2,...", the setting of SMALLDD is ignored. Example:. Look at the following Linkage Section: linkage section. 01 a pic x(10). 01 b pic 9(8). 01 c. 03 c1 pic x(10). 03 c2 pic x(20). 01 d pic 9(4). 01 e pic 9(8) comp-x. If you know that b and c never cross a segment boundary, you can specify SEGCROSS"1,4,5" to indicate that boundary crossing code is only to be produced for a, d and e. See also:. SMALLDD SEGSIZE Specifies the maximum code segment size, beyond which the Compiler automatically segments the code. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. integer The maximum size. Default:. SEGSIZE"0" Phase:. Generate Environment:. 16-bit $SET:. Initial Remarks:. If integer is zero, no automatic segmentation is done. This reduces compilation time and creates more efficient code. Example:. SEGSIZE"65536" causes automatic segmentation if the code is bigger than 65536 bytes. See also:. 64KSECT SEQCHK Makes the Compiler check the sequence numbers in columns 1 through 6 and identify source lines that are out of sequence. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOSEQCHK Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any Dependencies:. SEQCHK sets NORESEQ immediately SEQUENTIAL Specifies the default file type for files defined (implicitly or explicitly) as ORGANIZATION SEQUENTIAL. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. type ADVANCING, ANSI, LINE, or RECORD. Default:. SEQUENTIAL"RECORD" Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Initial Dependencies:. Set to SEQUENTIAL"RECORD" immediately by NORM or RM"ANSI". Set to SEQUENTIAL"LINE" immediately by RM. Remarks:. The possible values of type are: ADVANCING RECORD SEQUENTIAL with LINE ADVANCING. ANSI ANSI-conforming RECORD SEQUENTIAL. LINE LINE SEQUENTIAL. RECORD RECORD SEQUENTIAL (a standard SEQUENTIAL file). SETTING SETTINGS Makes the Compiler include in the source listing a list of the settings of directives. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOSETTING Phase:. Both Environment:. All (syntax check), 16-bit (generate) $SET:. No Dependencies:. Set to NOSETTING by NOLIST at end Remarks:. A few directives provided only for compatibility with other COBOL systems (for example, COMMIT) are not shown. Also not shown are directives that control code generation, make specific changes to the reserved word list, or are synonymous with other directives. The directives list is produced before processing the program source, so any directives in $SET statements in the program are not shown. If used during the generate phase, the .grp file contains only directives for to that phase. See also:. LIST SHOW-DIR Makes the Compiler show the contents of directives files in the source listing. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOSHOW-DIR Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any Remarks:. A directives file means cobol.dir or a file that appears in a DIRECTIVES or USE directive. For the contents of cobol.dir to appear in the source listing, SHOW-DIR must be specified at the start of cobol.dir, as this file is processed before any other directive. You can use SHOW-DIR and NOSHOW-DIR selectively so that only parts of the directives file are output to the listing. SHOWSHUFFLE Displays the results of the 01-level data items moved by the 01SHUFFLE directive. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOSHOWSHUFFLE Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any Remarks:. SHOWSHUFFLE only produces information if the 01SHUFFLE directive is specified. Otherwise it has no effect. See also:. 01SHUFFLE SIGN Specifies whether, for numeric DISPLAY items with included signs, the signs are to be interpreted according to the ASCII or EBCDIC convention. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. convention Either ASCII or EBCDIC. Default:. SIGN"ASCII" Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Initial Dependencies:. Set to SIGN"ASCII" immediately by CHARSET"ASCII". Set to SIGN"EBCDIC" at end by CHARSET"EBCDIC" SIGNCOMPARE Affects the way some numeric comparisons are performed in a program using the EBCDIC character set. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOSIGNCOMPARE Phase:. Generate Environment:. 16-bit $SET:. Any Remarks:. When the SIGNCOMPARE directive is set in a program using the EBCDIC character set, the way that some numeric comparisons are performed is changed. For example, an unsigned data item that contained 1234 would be equal to a signed data item that contained +1234. Setting SIGNCOMPARE causes these comparisons to be much less efficient than usual. If you are using an add-on product, the behavior of intermediate code with NOSIGNCOMPARE specified is the same as the behavior of generated code with SIGNCOMPARE specified. That is to say, if you use the default setting of this directive, the behavior in intermediate code and generated code is different. Comparisons with COMP-3 items with illegal sign nibbles (such as those produced by redefining the item) are also allowed by this directive. SMALLDD Tells the Compiler that no Linkage Section record less than 64K long crosses a segment boundary. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. SMALLDD Phase:. Generate Environment:. 16-bit $SET:. Initial Remarks:. SMALLDD improves efficiency by enabling the Compiler to generate boundary-crossing code for only records longer than 64K. With NOSMALLDD, boundary-crossing code is generated for all Linkage Section records. If your Data Division is longer than 64K, SMALLDD is ignored and NOSMALLDD is assumed. You should use SEGCROSS instead of SMALLDD, as this allows an individual setting for each Linkage Section item rather than having one setting for all of them. You can find out which data items in the CALLing program cross segment boundaries by using the CHIP and FLAG-CHIP directives when compiling it. This makes the Compiler report on data items that cross a segment boundary. You can then rearrange their definitions so they do not do so. See also:. CHIP, FLAG-CHIP, SEGCROSS SOURCE-EXT Specifies the file-name extension of the source file that a run-time debugger is to look for. This information is included in the .obj file. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. ext A file-name extension. Default:. SOURCE-EXT"cbl" Phase:. Generate Environment:. 16-bit $SET:. Initial Remarks:. This directive only affects .obj files. SOURCEASM Makes the Compiler include source code statements in the assembler listing. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOSOURCEASM Phase:. Generate Environment:. 16-bit $SET:. No Dependencies:. Set to NOSOURCEASM by NOLIST at end. SOURCEASM sets ANIM at end. Remarks:. Arithmetic and MOVES of numeric items can produce very fast code provided you use only simple syntax; for example, if you have only one receiving field. If you use a complicated form of one of these statements, "BADCODE" appears by it on the listing to show you that here is a place where you could speed up your program. SOURCEFORMAT Selects free or fixed format for COBOL source. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. format-type FIXED or FREE. The format of COBOL source. Default:. SOURCEFORMAT"FIXED" Phase:. Syntax check Environment:. All $SET:. Any Dependencies:. SOURCEFORMAT"FREE" sets NOMFCOMMENT and NORESEQ immediately. Remarks:. See the Language Reference for details on free and fixed format code. SPZERO Causes space characters in numeric data items of USAGE DISPLAY to be treated as zeros. Syntax:.
[]
Parameters:. None Default:. NOSPZERO Phase:. Both Environment:. All $SET:. Any Remarks:. With NOSPZERO, space characters in numeric data items give unpredictable results.
