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.

Syntax:

[NO]MAKESYN

Properties:

Default:

None. When not specified, all variables in Working-Storage defined as COMP or COMP-4 are converted to COMP-5.

Dependencies:

When the KEEPCOMP directive is specified, it overrides MAKESYN, NOMAKESYN, and the default behavior when neither MAKESYN nor NOMAKESYN are specified.
