The following table lists JCL SYSIN parameters you can use with the DGS. To see an example of these in the JCL, see JCL Example.
| APPLICATION | Application name containing the screen or program being generated |
| APSDEBUG | Specifies the generation of S-COBOL debug code; valid values are YES and NO |
| CODEPAGE | Country Code Page (Default is 1140, USA code) |
| CURRENCY | Currency symbol used for picture clauses |
| DB | For program generation: gives data base target (DLI, IMS, VSAM) |
| DC | Data communication target. For program generation, valid targets are CICS, IMS, ISPF, and MVS. For screen generation, valid targets are CICS and IMS. |
| DEBUG INPUT | Writes images of AMBCOMP SYSIN lines to held output, excluding comment lines unless DEBUG SHOWCOMMENTS is specified |
| DEBUG POSTCALL | Writes debug information to held output before the generation request is sent to the DGS |
| DEBUG PRECALL | Writes debug information to held output upon completion of the generation process |
| DEBUG SHOWCOMMENTS | Writes images of AMBCOMP SYSIN comments lines to held output |
| DEBUG XML-ATOM | Writes individual XML atoms to held output |
| DEBUG XML-FILE | Writes the XML file passed to the DGS to held output |
| DECIMAL | Character used to represent the decimal point |
| ENDEVOR | Enables Endevor support |
| FOOTPRINT | Writes Endevor Footprint information to the program manifest file |
| GENTYPE | Indicates generation type: APSPROG or APSSCRN (APSSRC, APSEXPS and APSEXPSF not implemented yet) |
| LANGUAGE | Language being used |
| LOGFILE SYSOUT | Write the AMB generation logfile to SYSOUT |
| MAPSET | For CICS screen generation only, specifies the BMS mapset name |
| MAXJOBQCOL n | Specifies the maximum record length allowed per record in the uploaded AMB generation logfile; valid values are 80 to 132 inclusive |
| MQDISTRIBUTEDQUEUENAME | Workstation MQ name |
| MQMANAGERNAME | Name of the MQ Manager for your configuration |
| MQWAITINTERVAL | Timeout period for an MQ message in 1000ths of a second |
| NODEFDD | Looks for APSMACS and APSCNTL locations specified in SYSIN DD cards only |
| OSVSGEN | For program generation: value is NO to enable non-OS/VS code generation (same as COBOL-II = “YES"); otherwise the value is YES |
| PROGRAM | For program generation: the program name |
| PGMNAME | For PROGRAM-ID generation: generates PROGRAM-ID values inside quotes; valid value is LONGMIXED |
| PROGRAMMANIFEST YES | For program generation: create a manifest file as part of the generation process |
| SCANCOBOLCOPYBOOKS | Specifies whether or not to suppress the scanning of COBOL copybook files and writing that information to the program manifest. Valid values are YES (default) to scan and NO to suppress scanning. |
| SCANDDISRC | Specifies whether or not to suppress the scanning of DDISYMB files and writing that information to the program manifest. Valid values are YES (default) to scan and NO to suppress scanning. |
| SCREEN | For screen generation: the screen name; this parameter can occur multiple times for a CICS target |
| SQL | For program generation: the value is DB2 if the program accesses SQL tables |
| WORKGROUP | If non-blank, the workgroup name |
