ODOOSVS

Makes the evaluation of OCCURS DEPENDING ON items more compatible with the OS/VS COBOL compiler.

Note: This directive is supported for native COBOL only.

Syntax:

 >>-.---.-.----.--ODOOSVS-------------------><  
    +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None

Properties:

Default:	NOODOSVS(Dialect)
Phase:	Syntax check
$SET:	Initial

Dependencies:

ODOOSVS sets the ODOSLIDE Compiler directive at the end.

Comments:

When ODOOSVS is specified, the length of variable-length groups and the address of items following variable-length tables is evaluated at the time when the OCCURS DEPENDING ON item is modified, rather than at the time when the variable-length group or sliding data item is referenced.
