COBSQL Compiler Directive Options

COBSQLTYPE
Specifies which precompiler to use.

CSTART
Forces COBSQL to load the database support modules at execution time.

CSTOP
Forces COBSQL to load the stop run module that performs a rollback if the application terminates abnormally

DEBUGFILE
Creates a debug (.deb) file

DISPLAY
Displays precompiler statistics. Should only be used when initially verifying that COBSQL is correctly calling the standalone precompiler.

END-COBSQL
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.

KEEPCBL
Saves precompiled source file (.cbl)

MAKESYN
Converts all COMP host variables to COMP-5 host variables. If neither MAKESYN nor NOMAKESYN is set (the default), all variables (not just host variables) defined as COMP or COMP-4 are converted to COMP-5.

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. SQLDEBUG will also turn on KEEPCBL and TRACE.

TRACE

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.
