Program Verifiers - ILE COBOL - Options

Option Description Default
Create FILLER field description Creates a single character FILLER field description, "07 FILLER PIC X", when no matching fields are found by a COPY DDS statement. Off
Dynamically create file Creates files that are unavailable at the time of the OPEN operation dynamically. Off
Check for duplicate keys Checks INDEXED files for duplicate keys. Off
Initialize relative files If files were opened for OUTPUT, initialize relative files with sequential access with deleted records during the CLOSE operation. Active records in the files are not affected; the record boundary is defined as the file size for subsequent OPEN operations. Off
Control record blocking The compiler allows blocking only of SEQUENTIAL access files with no START statement. The operating system determines the number of records to be blocked. Off
Uppercase program name Converts the program name to all uppercase characters (monocasing). Off
Truncate USAGE BINARY Truncates USAGE BINARY data to the number of digits in the PICTURE clause of the BINARY receiving field. Off
Change positive sign Uses hexadecimal C as the default positive sign for zoned and packed numeric data. Off
Verify subscript ranges Run-time checks are performed to verify that subscripts are within the correct ranges, but does not verify index ranges. Checks for reference modification and compiler-generated substring operations. Off
Include unreferenced data items Includes unreferenced data items in the compiled program. Off
Initialize data items The compiler initializes data items to system defaults, provided that the items are not subject to a VALUE clause. Off
Synchronize data Aligns an elementary item on a natural boundary in storage. Off
Uppercase picture string Converts the PICTURE character-string to all uppercase characters (monocasing). Off
