Environment variables in alphabetical order

Allows the specification, in tenths of seconds, of the maximum time out period that will be used with any LSC style application, such as Drag and Drop, SourceConnect, or the Monitor. The default is 2 minutes (1200), and the maximum value that can be used is 2,147,483,647.

SET CCITIMEOUT=2400 

• The name or the IP address of the machine hosting the CCITCP2 registration program.

• The port on which the CCITCP2 registration program operates.

Filename for and trace output and the trace options. The trace options are as follows:

• /F or -F

  Logs the details of CCI API calls to the trace file. The default condition for this option is OFF, unless a filename or any other trace option are specified, in which case it is always ON.

• /P or -P

  logs the details of protocol level calls to the trace file. If this flag is not ON, then only the details of the CCI user level API will be traced. If this flag is ON, the level of function tracing may be greatly increased. The default condition for this option is OFF.

• /D or -D

  Logs the contents of all buffers passed to and from the CCI functions. The default condition for this option is OFF. Data tracing may not be allowed if the application has been coded to prohibit data tracing for security reasons.

• The path where the .aif files are located.

• The base animator session filename.

• An Animator directive, or a list of directives. Must not be a filename.

• The progid identifier that is used to identify the program to which Animator will attach.

Specifies non-standard behavior for HIGHLIGHT and LOWLIGHT clauses used with ACCEPT and DISPLAY statements. It provides compatibility with earlier COBOL products. You should avoid using it wherever possible as support might be discontinued at some future date.

A value in the range 0 through 7. It can be one of the following values, or a cumulative value; for example, specifying a value of 6 would result in the behavior described for values 4 and 2.

• 0

  Provides standard, default behavior.

  When a COBOL program displays text subject to a HIGHLIGHT or LOWLIGHT clause, the run-time system uses respectively the bold or dim mode specified in the terminfo entry for the terminal. If the bold or dim mode is not specified, then the HIGHLIGHT or LOWLIGHT clause respectively has no effect.

• 1

  When a COBOL program displays text subject to a HIGHLIGHT clause, the run-time system uses the bold mode. The run-time system uses the default mode for normal text. Specifying dim mode in the terminfo entry for the terminal has no affect. The LOWLIGHT clause has no effect.

• 2

  High and low intensity space characters are not assumed to be the same as normal mode space characters.

• 3

  As for 1 and 2 above

• 4

  Provides compatibility with default behavior of products before COBOL version 3.2.

  When a COBOL program displays text subject to a HIGHLIGHT clause, the effect depends on whether the dim mode is specified in the terminfo entry for the terminal. If dim mode is specified, then the run-time system uses the default mode for highlighted text and the dim mode for normal text. If the dim mode is not specified, then the run-time system uses the bold mode for highlighted text and default mode for normal text. The LOWLIGHT clause has no effect, giving the same appearance as normal text.

• The location of a COBOL runtime configuration file.

• The location of a properties file.

• A list of search directories, each item separated by a semicolon.

  The system starts in 64-bit mode

• environment-variable Any one of the environment variables supported by the COBOL system and listed in this appendix.
• value The value to which you want to set the specified environment variable.
• options One or more cob command line options. See the chapter COBOL System Interface (cob) for details on the format of cob options.
• .ext A filename extension that, in addition to the standard ones of .cob, .CBL, or .cbl, denotes a file that Cob should treat as a COBOL source file. The extension must begin with a period, and if more than one is specified on one line then they must be separated by a space or tab character. You can use more than one cobextn line.
• pathname The directory that the COBOL system is to search for an options file.
• filename The name of a file containing cob options.

• A list of search directories, each item separated by a semicolon.

Specifies the name of a print spooler that is to receive, via its standard input stream (stdin), output from any DISPLAY UPON PRINTER statement.

• A command line supported by your system and that can be executed by the system shell. Typically, it is simply the name of a print spooler or other executable, but if the shell is escaped when setting the value then any command-line arguments can be used.

• A list of search directories, each item separated by a semicolon.

COBSES={option[filename]}..., where option can be one or more of the following:

• -a Include keystrokes made to and screen output from the Animator
• -f filename Play back recording in fast forward mode
• -p filename Play back recording in filename at normal speed
• -r filename Record keystrokes
• -s filename Record screen output
• -t terminal number Indicate terminal number for multi-user screen recordings

A list of the runtime switches to set or unset.

• + sets a switch.
• - un-sets a switch.

• A list of search directories, each item separated by a semicolon.

• An integer number of columns.

• The location and name of the default database.

• Y/N.

• File path and name of the dataset rules file.

• Setting this variable to any value causes CESN to produce an invalid credential message instead of a specific invalid user or invalid password message.

• Yes Console messages are sent to the Windows Event Log

• Y or y Having logged on to ES administration via your MFDS internal security account, you no longer receive the auto logon as "mfuser" when accessing ESMAC.

• U - Always uppercase.
• L - Always lowercase.
• M - Mixed case and case sensitive

Example: ES_ESM_IDPW_CASE=UM - a single authentication is tried with the user ID folded to uppercase, and the password used as-is.

• An integer number of the ESMAC catalog view lines to display.

ES_XA_????_NB_RETRIES= nnnn where:

• ???? is the XA ID defined in MFDS.
• nnnn is the number of subsequent XA call failures allowed before the SEP is recycled and the switch disabled.

• No Value (default)
• Y

If this environment variable is set, when an error occurs on a call to XA, the server recycles the SEP and attempts to reconnect to the Resource Manager. The ES_XA_????_NB_RETRIES variable specifies the number of XA call failures allowed before the SEP is recycled and the switch disabled.

• "\$local" Run the Fileshare System in single user mode.

Example: LANG=fr_FR

Specifies the directory or directories for the UNIX system, Cob and the run-time system to search for shared libraries and callable shared objects. It must be set to include $COBDIR/lib on all platforms, except AIX (which uses LIBPATH). It should also include any directories that contain callable shared objects used by your application.
