Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.
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.
