To set Compiler directives on a COBOL file

1. To specify Compiler directives on an individual COBOL file in your project:
   1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the file on which you want to set the directives.
   2. Click Properties.
   3. Go to the COBOL page.
   4. In Additional Directives, type the directives to set. Separate each directive with a space.
   5. Click OK.

The next time you compile the file or the entire project, the directives are applied.

The directives set on individual files override those that are specified for the entire project.
