DISPLAY, DIS
Displays precompiler statistics. Should only be used when initially verifying that COBSQL is correctly calling the standalone precompiler.
END-COBSQL, END-C, END
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. In some cases, the application must be linked with mfsqlSMF.lib.
KEEPCOMP
Maintains all COMP variables as COMP when the Oracle Pro*COBOL COMP5=yes directive is specified.
MAKESYN
When specified, all COMP and COMP-4 variables inside a DECLARE SECTION are converted to COMP-5. When NOMAKESYN is specified, no conversions are made. If neither MAKESYN nor NOMAKESYN is set (the default), all variables in Working-Storage 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.
STOPCHK
Stops compilation when the preprocessor encounters an EXEC SQL statement error, and sends the Pro*Cobol error text to the console display.
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.
XAID
Simplifies working with multiple XARs of the Oracle RM type defined in a single enterprise server region.
