- Program type
- Change the program type. Defaults to the program type set on the
Project Explorer, indicated by the program entry icon letter -
B for
Batch,
S for
Stub,
P for
Program Painter, and
O for
Online Express.
- Apos/Quot
- Select either the apostrophe (default) or quotation mark character to delimit non-numeric literals in your input source.
- Language
- Select one of the following:
- SCB
- Process S-COBOL in columns 8-72. To force a character into column 7, use the symbol &07 in the code. (default)
- COBOL
- Processs COBOL source in columns 1-72.
- JCL
- Process JCL in columns 1-72. Useful for text-processing JCL and for controlling columns 1-6 of S-COBOL.
- Text
- Process source in columns 1-80 and considers all columns to be text. Does not generate sequence numbers.
- Translate
- Select one of the following:
- FMP
- Stop after AMB processes Customizer AppMaster Builder and User Rules.
- RED
- Stop after translating report mock-ups into Report Writer source.
- RWT
- Stop after translating the Report Section into COBOL Working-Storage and S-COBOL.
- SCB
- Stop after generating S-COBOL into COBOL.
- Columns
- Select one of the following:
- Sequence
- Generates sequence numbers in columns 1-6 for blank, new, or out-of-sequence lines of source code.
- Spaces
- Generates spaces in columns 1-6; do not select this option when you choose
Text as your
Language selection.
- Cardin
- Type the name of the directory for the APSDBDC member. The default is APSDBDC.
- Scan Report Writer Mockup
- Check this to scan lines in report mock-ups and process the characters % & and + as Micro Focus Generator (MFG) symbols.
- Generate Message in Eval Brackets
- Check this to generate messages that list evaluation bracket resolutions. When checked, this option usually generates a lengthy
list of messages.
- User Named Paragraphs
- Check this to have AMB generate paragraph names with a prefix that matches the originating S-COBOL paragraph name. One S-COBOL
paragraph might expand to several when processed by the Micro Focus Generator. When this option is unchecked, AMB generates
paragraph names using the prefix "G--."
Also when checked, this option sets S-COBOL generated data names to use one dash instead of two. When unchecked S-COBOL generated
data names have two dashes.
- Report Writer
- Check this to generate COBOL code from Report Writer statements for non-OS/VS COBOL. When unchecked, AMB passes Report Writer
statements directly to the COBOL compiler.
- Subroutine
- Check this to generate the source code as a subroutine program. When unchecked, AMB generates it as a primary program.
- Print Source Program
- Check this to print the main input source program after the message report.
- Generate Comments
- Check this to generate replaced source statements as comments in the COBOL source.
- Activate S-COBOL Trace
- Check this to activate the SAGE-TRACE-FLAG debugging facility.
- Generate nested IF Structures
- Check this to generate nested IF statements in the COBOL source.
