Configuring your COBOL System
Before submitting your IBM/370 COBOL programs to this COBOL system, you
must configure this system so that it emulates the behavior of IBM/370
COBOL. You can do this in one of two ways:
* Select the OS/VS COBOL or the appropriate VS COBOL II option from
within the Setup utility when you install this COBOL system. When
you do this, a COBOL.DIR file is automatically created and
contains the system directives for the dialect you specified in
SETUP.
* Create a COBOL.DIR
file and set certain system directives according to which dialect
you wish to use; that is, for OS/VS COBOL, you set:
NOANS85
NOCOBOL370
NODG
NODOSVS
NOIBM-M
NOMF
NOMS
NOPC1
NORM
NOSAA
NOVSC2
NOXOPEN
NO01SHUFFLE
NOFLAGSTD
OSVS
FLAG
FLAGAS
FLAGCD
for VS COBOL II Release 3, you set:
NOANS85
NOCOBOL370
NODG
NODOSVS
NOIBM-MS
NOMF
NOMS
NOOSVS
NOPC1
NORM
NOSAA
NOXOPEN
NO01SHUFFLE
VSC2
FLAG
FLAGAS
FLAGCD
for VS COBOL II Release 1.1 or Release 2, you set:
NOANS85
NOCOBOL370
NODG
NODOSVS
NOIBM-MS
NOMF
NOMS
NOOSVS
NOPC1
NORM
NOSAA
NOXOPEN
NO01SHUFFLE
NOFLAGSTD
VSC2
FLAG
FLAGAS
FLAGCD
and for VS COBOL II Release 1, you set:
NOANS85
NOCOBOL370
NODG
NODOSVS
NOIBM-MS
NOMF
NOMS
NOOSVS
NOPC1
NORM
NOSAA
NOXOPEN
NO01SHUFFLE
VSC2
FLAG
FLAGAS
FLAGCD.
See your COBOL System Reference for further details of the COBOL.DIR
file.
You may need to set several other directives to enable this COBOL system
to more closely imitate the behavior of mainframe programs. You can
select these from the Setup program. They are:
PERFORM-TYPE(OSVS) IBMCOMP NOTRUNC
All of the above directives are described in your COBOL System Reference.
