For emulation purposes, you can arrange to return file status codes other than ANSI'85 and ANSI'74. To do so:
Compiler | CONVERTSTATUS= |
---|---|
RM/COBOL | rmstat |
IBM Mainframe COBOL | hoststat |
Microsoft COBOL V2 | msstat |
You can add the CONVERTSTATUS parameter to the File Handler configuration file extfh.cfg. For more information, see the topic File Handler Configuration.
