A directives file means
cobol.dir (UNIX) or
a file that appears in a DIRECTIVES or USE directive (all platforms). For the contents of
cobol.dir to appear in the source listing, SHOW-DIR must be specified at the start of
cobol.dir, as this file is processed before any other directive.
You can use SHOW-DIR and NOSHOW-DIR selectively so that only parts of the directives file are output to the listing.
