Only
one of the attributes listed in
Table 1 needs
to be present to cause NORES applications to act as RES applications. If your
NORES application does become RES-like, you have additional considerations:
- Many of the considerations for programs that have been compiled with RES
now apply to the NORES applications that you have link-edited with Language Environment (as indicated with
the "NORES Linked" category of the This section applies to: box
at the beginning of each section in Moving from the OS/VS COBOL run time and Moving from the VS COBOL II run time).
- Additional Language Environment services
are available. For example, if you want to get a report of storage used by
your program:
- Before link-editing the NORES application with Language Environment, Language Environment was not initialized.
You could not generate a storage report.
- After link-editing the NORES application with Language Environment, Language Environment is initialized.
You can now request a storage report by specifying the RPTSTG runtime option.
- Performance will be impacted.
