The purpose of this tab is to define a Library. It consists in specifying the default generated language, and the options associated with the dates.
Value | Comments |
---|---|
N | No adaptation to any language variant (default option at definition level). |
0 | IBM MVS/ESA OS/390 |
1 | IBM DOS/VSE |
3 | UNIX, WINDOWS |
4 | BULL GCOS7 |
5 | BULL GCOS8 |
8 | UNISYS A SERIES : this variant is required at
the Library level to work in half-byte packed mode. Note: If this
value '8' is entered on the Library Definition after the
Data Element formats have been defined, the formats of the elements
entered on the definition and Segment/Screen call of elements (including
fillers and undefined elements), must be reentered to take the lengths
into account.
This option can also be used with BULL GCOS8. In that case, the generation variant '5' must be entered in the Programs and Screens. |
F | TANDEM |
I | DEC/VAX VMS |
K | COBOL ICL 2900 |
O | COBOL AS/400 |
U | COBOL UNISYS 2200 Series |
X | COBOL II IBM MVS/ESA OS/390. |
Q | ACUCOBOL |
C | COBOL source code |
By default, the generated COBOL files are stored with the design files. However you can separate them from the design files or even change the generation project and folder.
The project of the corresponding design file is the default project. If it has been kept, Default is displayed between parentheses next to the project. However, if it has been explicitly changed in the instance, only the project is displayed here, without any other indication. If it has been explicitly changed in the generation Library, Inherited from Library is then displayed between parentheses next to the project. In the instance, you can overwrite the value inherited from the Library.
You can select a new project by clicking the arrow or the Change COBOL project and folder button.
If you change the project, it will be taken into account upon the next generation.
The folder of the corresponding design file is the default folder. If it has been kept, Default is displayed between parentheses next to the folder. However, if it has been explicitly changed in the instance, only the folder is displayed here, without any other indication. If it has been explicitly changed in the generation Library, Inherited from Library is then displayed between parentheses next to the folder. In the instance, you can overwrite the value indicated in the Library.
If the default folder has been kept, you can specify a root path for the generated files in the Properties wizard (accessed by clicking the Change project properties button). This path will be automatically inserted in this field, at the beginning of the folder.
You can select a new folder by clicking the arrow or the Change COBOL project and folder button.
If you change the folder, it will be taken into account upon the next generation.
Expand the appropriate project and select a folder or create a folder. Click OK. The selected folder and project are then automatically displayed in the corresponding fields here.

Values | Comments |

N | With COBOL II or COBOL 85. This is the default value. If the year is smaller than the value entered in the Century reference date field, it is prefixed by 20. If it is greater, it is prefixed by 19 |
C | With COBOL II or COBOL 85 compatible with the
year 2000. Direct retrieval of the system date including the century according to the COBOL capabilities. |
W | With other COBOL languages. A value is set for the century as with the N value. |
Values | Comments |
---|---|
Y | The titles and frames of functions or subfunctions,
and the inserted comments (' * ' operator) are present in
the generated COBOL. Moreover punctuation is automatically calculated for comment lines which do not include a block type. The block type of the next processing is then taken into account for this calculation. |
S | The titles and frames of functions or subfunctions, and the inserted comments ('*' operator) are ignored at generation time. |
O | Same as the Y value. However in the Batch Applications function, the punctuation of comments is not calculated; it varies according to the block type present on these lines. |
N | Default option when the Library is created. Same as the S value. However for the Pacbench C/S and OLSD functions, the inserted comments lines ('*' operator) are included in the generated COBOL. |
