When compiling source files of a Micro Focus application, the following options should always be used:

   -cm -dcm -ccmf

Other options may apply to your programs, depending on the directives and extensions you use.

Micro Focus compile flags are not supported by isCOBOL, but in most cases there is a matching isCOBOL compiler option or other method to replace these flags.

You can find a complete list of these compiler flag replacements, as well as additional considerations during your conversion in the "Transitioning from Micro Focus" guilde in the Transitioning to isCOBOL documentation.
If you do not find an isCOBOL solution to a flag you need, you should contact Veryant support at support@veryant.com.
