Enables you to change language options when compiling native OO COBOL classes and interfaces.

Syntax:

                  V        | 
>>-.---.--OOCTRL--.-option-.-------------><

option

Determines how syntax in native OO programs is to be treated:

A	Specifies whether to allow ActiveX controls in your COBOL application to use classes and methods in the OLE class library; set -A to allow.
F	Specifies whether or not to fold method names invoked by the program being compiled to lower case. Use -F if your program calls Java methods, since Java method names are case-sensitive. See your Java and COBOL book for information on using Java and COBOL together.
G	Specifies whether to make class data global for instances. The use of this option is not recommended. It is provided for compatibility with earlier releases.
L	Specifies whether to include directory location comments in .cls and .ins inheritance files.
P	Specifies whether to make parameter type information available to the run-time system. This is needed for messages sent to COM. The number of parameters in any method called or declared is limited to 31, plus an optional return value.
Q	Specifies whether to disable the use of: IN and OF any place that could possibly follow a data name in the verb-signature of a method interface definition. Any verb in the verb-signature of a method interface definition.
W	Specifies whether working storage means object storage in instances and factory (class) objects.

When working storage is used to mean object storage, an Object-Storage Section must not be specified.

The +W setting provides compatibility with the ISO 2002 COBOL standard.
