Running the COBOL85 Compiler

In the OSS environment, the OSS utility cobol calls the COBOL85 compiler, optionally

followed by the Binder (BIND), Accelerator (AXCEL), and SQL/MP compiler

(SQLCOMP). The flags and the types of files in the operands determine which

processes operate on the files in the operands.

The cobol utility generates programs that run in the OSS environment. To generate

programs that run in the Guardian environment, use the COBOL85 command in the

Guardian environment (see Starting a Compilation).

Text file inputs to the compiler can be OSS ASCII text files (code 180) or Guardian

EDIT files (code 101).

The command to run the COBOL85 compiler in the OSS environment is:
