Reference number

This field specifies which numbers are used for sequence numbers. Initially this field contains the value *CMDDFT. To indicate which numbers are used, click on the down arrow to select one of the following valid choices:

*CMDDFT
No parameter will be passed to the host and the host defined default will be used.

User-supplied number
Indicates that the user-supplied sequence numbers (columns 1 through 6) are used for reference numbers. (*NUMBER is the equivalent value on the OPTION parameter of the CRTCBLPGM, CRTCBLMOD, and CRTBNDCBL commands.)

Compiler-created number
Indicates that the sequence numbers created by the compiler are used for reference numbers. (*LINENUMBER is the equivalent value on the OPTION parameter of the CRTCBLPGM, CRTCBLMOD, and CRTBNDCBL commands.) This option combines COBOL/400 main file source code and COPY member source code into one consecutively numbered sequence. Use this only if you specify FIPS flagging or SAA flagging (SAA flagging applies to OPM COBOL/400 only.)

Source file sequence number
Indicates that the source-file sequence numbers are used for reference numbers. (*NONUMBER is the equivalent value on the OPTION parameter of the CRTCBLPGM, CRTCBLMOD, and CRTBNDCBL commands.)
