COBOL Manual for TNS/E Programs (H06.08+, J06.03+)

SWITCH-nn
sets (ON) or clears (OFF) the specified switch. In the Guardian environment, the value of
nn can be a one-digit integer between 1 and 9 or a two-digit integer between 01 and 15.
In the OSS environment, the value of nn can be a one-digit integer between 1 and 9 or a
two-digit integer between 10 and 15. (For an explanation of these switches, see
SPECIAL-NAMES Paragraph (page 105). In the absence of a PARAM SWITCH-nn ON
command, SWITCH-nn is off.
DEBUG
is used only if the program was compiled with the DEBUGGING clause and contains USE
DEBUGGING sections. When set to ON, the program executes debug code (declaratives).
In the absence of a PARAM DEBUG ON command, the debugging declaratives are not
executed.
NONSTOP
controls whether or not a process runs as a process pair, provided that the NONSTOP
directive was included in the compilation of the program. For information on using process
pairs, see Chapter 32: Fault-Tolerant Processes (page 944).
If the program was compiled with the NONSTOP directive, the process runs as a process
pair unless you use the PARAM NONSTOP OFF command.
If this switch is set OFF, no checkpointing or backup creation occurs, and PROGRAM-STATUS
is always set to “0000.”
INSPECT
determines what the run unit does after reporting fatal errors. If INSPECT is OFF, the run
unit calls ABEND. If INSPECT is ON, the run unit calls the selected debugger.
WAITED-IO
is ignored.
EXECUTION-LOG
specifies the destination of messages issued by the HP COBOL run-time library routines,
which are:
• Diagnostic messages
• DISPLAY messages that do not specify a mnemonic-name when the default OUT device
is the home terminal
