There are several techniques that can increase the speed of compilation. Use wildcards to compile multiple programs together in one Java instance instead of compiling each separately, which closes and opens a separate Java process for each compile.... Read More
Compiler General
This error means that too many Java constants were created and the program cannot be compiled. It is usually returned when compiling very huge source files. To avoid the error, add the -big option to the Compiler options, but only for the programs... Read More
The compiler options will have no effect when they are specified in the source file with the >> IMP OPTION directive: -exec, -la, -lf, -lfo, -lo, -od, sf, -st, -sa, -sl, -sv, -smat and -zmf For example, the following syntax will NOT move the... Read More
The compilation of a program with isCOBOL is done in two steps. In the first step the isCOBOL Compiler (iscc) parses the COBOL source code and produces an intermediate Java source. In the second step the Java Compiler (javac) compiles the Java source... Read More
Start the server using one of the following command lines: iscserver -port port -hostname server java com.iscobol.as.AppServerImpl -port port -hostname server -port and -hostname are optional. Start the client using one of the following... Read More
Yes, in version 2019R1 we introduced a new compiler option for this purpose: -sl This option augments isCOBOL compatibility with other dialects. It allows AREA B to extend to the end of the line, regardless of line length. As with other regular... Read More
Regular expressions can be used to replace text in your programs without changing your code. You do this by setting iscobol.compiler.regexp and compiling your code. The format is: iscobol.compiler.regexp=<existing-value> <new-value> ... Read More
By using standard COBOL variables in the Linkage Section of your program to receive strings and numbers, you force the calling programs to use specific data items to pass the parameters. For example, if you define a parameter as PIC X(100), the... Read More
