PARAM Commands

PARAM SWAPVOL

The PARAM SWAPVOL command specifies the volume on which the compiler and its

processes will create temporary files (if possible). It does not determine where the

operating system creates the compiler’s own swap file—the Kernel-Managed Swap

Facility (KMSF) does that. For more information, see the Kernel-Managed Swap

Facility (KMSF) Manual.

$volume

is a dollar sign ($) immediately followed by one to seven alphanumeric characters.

The first alphanumeric character must be alphabetic. The $volume is the name of

the volume on which the temporary files are to be created.

The $volume must exist on the system on which the compiler resides. If the

compiler cannot create its first temporary file on the specified volume, compilation

proceeds with temporary files created as though no PARAM SWAPVOL command

were active.

PARAM SYMBOL-BLOCKS

The PARAM SYMBOL-BLOCKS command specifies how much space the compiler

allocates for its symbol dictionary, embedded SQL/MP statements, and for the

COBOL85 compiler, its local label table.

The PARAM SYMBOL-BLOCKS command specifies how much space the compiler

allocates for its symbol dictionary, local label table, and embedded SQL/MP or

SQL/MX statements.

count

is an integer in the range 1 through 14 (for the COBOL85 compiler) or 1 through 25

(for the NMCOBOL compiler), which affects space allocation. The default value of

count is 2 for the COBOL85 compiler and 3 for the NMCOBOL compiler.
