DISPLAY, DIS Displays precompiler statistics. Should only be used when initially verifying that COBSQL is correctly calling the standalone
precompiler.
END-COBSQL, END-C, END Signals the end of COBSQL directives; remaining directives, if any, are passed to the precompiler
HSFTRACE Generates calls around each SQL statement to the HSF trace routine if the application is running under Enterprise Server. In some cases, the application must be linked with mfsqlSMF.lib.
KEEPCOMP Maintains all COMP variables as COMP when the Oracle Pro*COBOL COMP5=yes directive is specified.
MAKESYN When specified, all COMP and COMP-4 variables inside a DECLARE SECTION are converted to COMP-5. When NOMAKESYN is specified,
no conversions are made. If neither MAKESYN nor NOMAKESYN is set (the default), all variables in Working-Storage defined as
COMP or COMP-4 are converted to COMP-5.
SQLBGP Enables proper SQL background parsing when Pro*COBOL is not installed on your local machine, and you are using the local
machine to access an Eclipse project on a remote machine that does have Pro*COBOL installed.
SQLDEBUG Creates a number of files that we can use to debug COBSQL. These files include the output file from the precompiler (normally
this has the extension .cbl), the listing file produced by the precompiler (this has the extension .lis), plus a COBSQL debug file which has the extension .sdb.
STOPCHK Stops compilation when the preprocessor encounters an EXEC SQL statement error, and sends the Pro*Cobol error text to the
console display.
VERBOSE Displays all precompiler messages and gives status updates as the program is processed. You should only use this when initially
verifying that COBSQL is calling the standalone precompiler correctly.
XAID Simplifies working with multiple XARs of the Oracle RM type defined in a single enterprise server region.
