Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, Version 4.1, Compiler and Runtime Migration Guide


Simplified TEST compiler option

Enterprise COBOL Version 4 has a simplified TEST compiler option compared to Enterprise COBOL Version 3. If the TEST option is specified in JCL or CBL/PROCESS statements in COBOL source, you might want to change them. The following TEST suboptions are deprecated, but continue to be tolerated to ease migration. An information-level compiler diagnostic is issued if they are used. The deprecated suboptions cannot be specified together with new suboptions in the same TEST option specification.
Table 1. The deprecated TEST suboptions
Deprecated suboption Behavior if specified with Version 4 compiler Diagnostic
ALL New HOOK suboption implied Informational diagnostic
BLOCK New HOOK suboption implied Informational diagnostic
PATH New HOOK suboption implied Informational diagnostic
STMT New HOOK suboption implied Informational diagnostic
NONE New NOHOOK suboption implied Informational diagnostic
SYM Ignored, symbolic debugging information always generated Informational diagnostic
NOSYM Ignored, symbolic debugging information always generated Warning diagnostic

Note that the deprecated suboptions cannot be specified as installation options. They are only supported as invocation options or on CBL/PROCESS statements.
