ACUCOBOL-GT format 6 SET extension.
FORMAT 6
SET { env-name TO env-value } ...
{ENVIRONMENT }
Note: The CONFIGURATION option that is supported in ACUCOBOL-GT is not supported in
Visual COBOL.
Syntax Rules
- env-name is a nonnumeric literal or data item.
- env-value is a USAGE DISPLAY numeric or nonnumeric literal or data item. If numeric, it must be an integer.
General Rules
- A format 6 SET statement is used to set environment variables. ACUCOBOL-GT maintains a set of configuration variables that
can affect various aspects of the runtime system. These variables can be initially set in the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime configuration
file described in
Appendix H of the
ACUCOBOL-GT Appendices Manual. The Format 6 SET statement can be used to modify these values at runtime.
Note: ACUCOBOL-GT allows you to set runtime configuration variables and to change their values. This COBOL system does not support
this functionality.
