SET Directive

SET Directive

The SET directive allows you to set a Compiler Configuration property for a program.

>> SET [NO] PropertyName PropertyValue

Syntax:

1. PropertyName is a text string that specifies the property name. It can be delimited by quotes.

2. PropertyValue is a text string that specifies the property value. It can be delimited by quotes. It can be written between parenthesis.

General rules:

1. PropertyName can be any of the properties described in Compiler Configuration stripped of the "iscobol.compiler" prefix.

2. The following properties cannot be set:

• max_paragraphs

• max_constants

• max_hostvars

• options

• regexp

3. When the NO keyword is used, then PropertyValue shouldn’t be specified. In this way, the property is unset.

Alternative syntax

The following equivalent syntax is supported for compatibility:

$SET [NO] PropertyName PropertyValue

The dollar sign must appear in the source indicator area.

Example

A Java bridge program will be generated for the following program:

>>SET "easylinkage" "1"

program-id. eg001.
