The following new directives are now available:
- COPYSEARCH - enables you to specify how copybooks are located. You can choose between usual
Micro Focus COBOL behavior or usual RM/COBOL behavior.
- ILSMARTNEST - enables you to nest ILSMARTLINKAGE classes inside the program class in which they are defined. This makes it possible to have multiple programs in a single compilation unit that include linkage records with the same name.
The following directives have been changed:
- DIALECT(RM) - now accepts a new parameter, RM, which enables the RM-compatible functionality that the RM directive used to enable.
- ILREF - can only specify a .class as a parameter, and not a .jar file or other file types.
- ILUSING - when set on a single file using the SET statement,
$set ilusing, the directive only affects that file.
