Syntax
Windows:
set CCITCP2=hostname
UNIX:
CCITCP2=hostname
export CCITCP2
Parameters
hostname is the TCP hostname or dotted decimal IP address of the machine running the CCITCP2 daemon you wish to contact from that session.
Comments
The environment variable value will always take precedence over any value set using the Configuration Utility. To restore a process to using the value set by the Configuration Utility simply set the environment variable to an empty string, such as
set CCITCP2=
Alternatively, if this environment variable is set system-wide (by creating a system variable in the system environment settings, or by using a CONFIG.SYS file) then this value will always take precedence over any value set using the Configuration Utility.
Syntax
Windows:
set CCITCP2_PORT=port
UNIX:
CCITCP2_PORT=port
export CCITCP2_PORT
Syntax
CCITRACE=filename [options]
| /F or -F | logs the details of CCI API calls to the trace file. The default is OFF, unless a filename any other trace option is specified, in which case it is always ON. |
| /P or -P | logs the details of protocol-level calls to the trace file. The default is OFF. If this flag is OFF, then only the details of the CCI user-level API will be traced. If this flag is ON, the level of function tracing may be greatly increased. |
| /D or -D | logs the contents of all buffers passed to and from the CCI functions. The default is OFF. Data tracing may not be allowed if the application has been coded to prohibit data tracing for security reasons. |
So to create a CCI trace file with the default name of ccitrc1.trc (with matching ccitrc1.idx file) which traces CCI API function flow, along with the underlying protocol function flow, but with no tracing of the user data passed to these calls, the value of the CCITRACE environment variable would be /P.
The CCI.INI file can also be used to control trace options, but any values specified by the CCITRACE environment variable will take precedence.
Syntax
LANG=language[_territory[.codepage]] export LANG
Example
LANG=fr_FR export LANG
Syntax
LINES=n export LINES
Parameters
n The depth of the terminal screen or window, in lines.
Comments
The default, when LINES is unset or null, is to use the lines value as defined in the specified terminal's terminfo entry, or the current depth of the terminal window if you are using X windows. The terminal type is specified via the standard UNIX environment variable, TERM.
On non-windowing environments, where the terminal screen area cannot be resized, the LINES values does not need to be set.
In windowing environments, where the size of windows can be changed, the initial size of the window is used in preference to the lines value in terminfo. When the window is resized, the new size is reread. If the new size is greater than the initial size then the extra lines might not be used.
If you want to use the full depth of the window you might need to set LINES to the current depth of the window on some platforms.
Using LINES values that do not correspond to the actual depth of the window produces unexpected results.
Example
LINES=50 export LINES
Specifies the directory or directories for the UNIX system, cob command, and the run-time system to search for shared libraries and callable shared objects. If you have installed the product to a directory other than the default one, you must set this variable to include $COBDIR/lib on all platforms except AIX (which uses LIBPATH). It should also include any directories that contain callable shared objects used by your application. If you have installed the product in the default directory (/opt/microfocus/EnterpriseDeveloper), you do not need to set this variable.
Syntax
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=pathname[:pathname]... export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
pathname A path or a list of paths, each separated by a colon (:).
Comments
The list of directories must include $COBDIR/lib. The COBDIR environment variable is described earlier.
This environment variable is a system environment variable; see your UNIX documentation for more information.
Example
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$COBDIR/lib:/home/mydir/myapp:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Syntax
LIBPATH=pathname[:pathname]... export LIBPATH
Parameters
pathname A directory to search for shared libraries.
Example
LIBPATH=$COBDIR/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
Syntax
Windows:
SET MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT=fpstatus
UNIX:
MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT=fpstatus
export MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT
Parameters
fpstatus Which format to use for floating point data items. This must be one of:
Setting MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT to anything other than true has the same effect as setting it to false.
The setting of this environment variable can be overridden by the NATIVE-FLOATING-POINT directive.

A code between 2000 and 9999 (except 9122) corresponds to a user-defined translation table. User-defined tables are created using the Codecomp utility.
If you are not using UK or US language settings, you must also set the codepage in your PC environment settings:
Syntax
Windows:
SET MFCSCFG=filename
UNIX:
MFCSCFG=filename
export MFCSCFG
Parameters
filename The name of the configuration file.
Example
Windows:
SET MFCSCFG=/home/mydir/mfclisrv.cfg
UNIX:
MFCSCFG=/home/mydir/mfclisrv.cfg
export MFCSCFG
Comments
The value of MFCSCFG is overridden by any value defined in the command line. If neither of the above yields a filename, the default filename mfclisrv.cfg is assumed, and is searched for in the current directory. If that in turn is not found, the default settings for the configuration entries are used.
Syntax
Windows:
SET MFLOGDIR=dirname
UNIX:
MFLOGDIR=dirname
export MFLOGDIR
Parameters
dirname The name of the directory for log files.
Example
Windows:
SET MFLOGDIR=/home/mydir/logs
UNIX:
MFLOGDIR=/home/mydir/logs
export MFLOGDIR
Specifies a configuration file for Language Environment (LE) runtime options.
Syntax
Windows:
SET MFLECONFIG=filename
UNIX:
MFLECONFIG=filename
export MFLECONFIG
Parameters
filename The file containing the LE runtime options you want to use.
Specifies the directories to be searched by all UNIX programs, including the runtime system, when finding executables to be run.
Syntax
PATH=pathname[:pathname]... export PATH
Parameters
pathname A directory to search for executables.
Example
PATH=$COBDIR/bin:$PATH export PATH
Syntax
TERM=name export TERM
Parameters
name The name of the terminal in the terminfo database.
Example
TERM=at386 export TERM
Specifies the directory to be searched by all UNIX programs, including the runtime system, for the UNIX system terminfo database.
Syntax
TERMINFO=pathname export TERMINFO
Parameters
pathname The name of a directory that contains the UNIX system terminfo database.
Comments
The UNIX system terminfo database is used by all UNIX applications that need to use a terminal. However, COBOL applications tend to make much fuller and sophisticated use of the terminal and require a fuller terminfo description than is required by typical UNIX applications such as vi. Some terminal capabilities, such as those set during the initialization of the terminal to control the use of function keys, commonly conflict with the needs of typical COBOL applications. In such cases, the terminal information required by COBOL can be stored in a separate terminfo database and referenced using COBTERMINFO.
Syntax
TMPDIR=pathname export TMPDIR
Parameters
pathname The directory used by UNIX applications for any temporary work files. Temporary work files can be created by COBOL utilities such as Cob or by the runtime system when it executes statements such as SORT. If you do not specify a directory, the system default directory is used.
Comments
You might need to use this environment variable if the runtime system needs to page data to disk when creating heaps or sorting.
