Micro Focus COBOL System Reference, Volume 2

COBDIR 

Specifies the directory in which the Micro Focus COBOL system software is
located.

Syntax: 

     COBDIR=directory 
     export COBDIR

Parameters: 

directory           is the directory which contains the Micro Focus COBOL
                    system software.

Example: 

      COBDIR=/cob32u1
     export COBDIR

This causes cob to search the directory /cob32u1 for the Micro Focus
COBOL system software.

Remarks: 

The Micro Focus COBOL system software is usually located in a default
directory, and that is where cob normally expects to find it.  See the
chapter COBOL System Interface (cob) for details on locating the system
software.  If, however, you install into a different directory, COBDIR
enables you to specify which directory that is, thus forcing cob to
search the specified directory for the system software instead of the
default directory.
