BRIEF
Enables the Compiler to produce only error numbers, and no message texts.
CHANGE-MESSAGE
Changes the severity of errors/messages. Messages can also be suppressed or returned to their original severity.
EDITOR
Enables the Compiler to send error messages to a file in a format compatible with a specified editor.
ERRFORMAT
Specifies the type of error message format to be used for command-line compilations and to appear in the list file.
ERRLIST
Specifies the format of error messages in a list file.
ERRQ
Enables the Compiler to prompt you to stop compiling each time it gives an error message.
FLAG
Makes the Compiler produce language-level certification flags when it finds syntax that is not part of a specified dialect of COBOL.
FLAGAS
Makes the Compiler output flagging messages as error messages, warning messages or informational messages.
FLAGCD
When used in conjunction with the FLAG directive, FLAGCD flags any directive settings that would cause incompatibility with the specified dialect of COBOL.
FLAGEUC
Flags occurences of SBCS (8-bit codes) and certain occurences of DBCS (16-bit codes) in the source code.
FLAGMIG
Causes the Compiler to flag any syntax that behaves differently at run time depending on the setting of CMPR2.
FLAGQ
Enables the Compiler prompt you to stop compiling each time it gives a flagging message.
FLAGSINEDIT
Specifies whether flagging messages are to be included in an error file.
FLAGSTD
Makes the Compiler produce language-level certification flags when it finds syntax that is not part of a specified level of the ANSI'85 Standard.
HIDE-MESSAGE
Registers the number of a syntax check error message to "hide" so that if the error is encountered it is ignored.
IMPLICITSCOPE
Enables the syntax checker to produce warning messages for cases where scope has been implicitly ended. This usually occurs where the scope terminator (END-VERB) could have been used.
INFORETURN
Specifies the return-code value returned by the Compiler when it produces only informational messages.
MAX-ERROR
Causes the Compiler to abort when the specified number of errors have been produced.
MOVE-LEN-CHECK
Causes the Compiler to check source and target lengths for alphanumeric MOVE operations.
QUERY
Each time the Compiler is unable to find a copybook, it prompts you for an action.
RESTRICT-GOTO
Generates a syntax error for GO TO statements that transfer control to outside of the current section.
STDERR
Causes error messages to be echoed to STDERR rather than to the console (STDOUT).
WARNING, WARNINGS
Specifies the lowest severity level of errors to report.
