BMS Properties

The BMS page in the project properties lets you specify build settings for BMS compilations.
Note: These settings are available only for Visual COBOL 2010 Enterprise Option and Server Enterprise Edition for .NET .

Compile

Additional Directives
Specify any additional directives to pass to the BMS compiler. Use space to separate the directives.
Align Map
Specify whether to align the fields on a halfword boundary.
Create Copybook
Specify whether to generate the copybook for the mapset.
Create Load Module
Specify whether to generate the BMS mapset .mod file.
High level assembler features
Specify whether to use long labels for macros in the .bms files. Equivalent to the HLL option of the BMS compiler.
Hyphenate Field Name
Specify whether to enable hyphenated suffices for fields.
Levels
Specify the COBOL levels to use when the copybook is generated (copybook start level and increment).
Map as Prefix
Specify if you want the map name to be used as a prefix.
Prefix
Specify the SDF prefix to be used for SDF data items generated in the copybook.
Prefix Separator
Specify the character that should separate the prefix from the name of an individual field. This option is used only when either Map as Prefix is set to Yes or a Prefix is specified.
Redefine Input Maps
Specify if each field's attribute byte should redefine the flag byte in the input map.
SDF Map Size
Specify whether to generate map length in the copybook for SDF mapsets.

General

Copybook Output Path
Specify a path for the generated copybook files different than the default one.
Load Module Output Path
Specify a path for the generated .mod file different than the default one.
SDF
Specify whether to use SDF comments for parse and compile.

Parse

Keep Preprocessor File
Specify whether to keep the preprocessor file created by the Assembler preprocessor.
Use Assembler Preprocessor
Specify whether to execute the Assembler preprocessor before parsing the file.
