Compiler Directives

HP COBOL Manual for TNS and TNS/R Programs—522555-006

36-47

TRAP2 and NOTRAP2

Note. The NMCOBOL compiler, which has traps set by default, ignores these directives and

issues warnings.

Use the NOTRAP2 directive only during the process of conversion from COBOL 74 to

HP COBOL. It is provided to enable programs that do not include SIZE ERROR phrases to be

compiled and executed in HP COBOL without investing programmer time in analyzing the

potential for overflow problems. The availability of this directive might be discontinued after a

period of time.

Default: TRAP2

Placement: Anywhere

Scope: The last TRAP2 or NOTRAP2 before the END PROGRAM statement for

the outermost program applies to the entire separately compiled

program (the outermost program of a compilation and any programs

contained within it).

Dependencies: NOTRAP2-74 overrides TRAP2.
