putenv_interface

On certain platforms, this provides backward compatibility with previous products in the setting of environment variables.

Restriction:

This tunable is supported for native COBOL only.

Syntax:

>>-----set-putenv_inerface=--.-TRUE--.--><
                             +-FALSE-+

Parameters:

TRUE	Provides backward compatibility by using the operating system's `putenv()` function when setting environment variables.
FALSE	Uses the operating system's `setenv()` function when setting environment variables.

Properties:

Default:	FALSE
IDE equivalent:	None

Comments:

Only set this tunable on AIX, HP-UX and Solaris platforms, and then only if you are experiencing COBRT105 errors, or when processes are growing in size when you use the DISPLAY UPON ENVIRONMENT-NAME construct. In all other cases, this tunable should not be set.
