PARAM Command
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 Section 32.
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 (see Debugger Selection).
WAITED-IO
when set to ON, causes the HP COBOL program to do all its input-output in
wait mode (allowing you to use AWAITIO with -1). The program cannot execute
an OPEN statement that specifies TIME LIMITS or references $RECEIVE.
Attempts to do so cause the program to terminate abnormally with a run-time
error message.
EXECUTION-LOG
specifies the destination of messages issued by the HP COBOL run-time
library routines, which are:
•
Diagnostic messages
•
DISPLAY messages that do not specify a mnemonic-name when the
default OUT device is the home terminal
The default EXECUTION-LOG is the home terminal.
system-file-name
is the name of the file to which run-time messages are directed. It must be an
existing entry-sequenced (TYPE E) file (that is, a file-system file name). If
system-file-name does not begin with a dollar sign ($), backward slash (\),
or number sign (#), then it must be enclosed in quotation marks unless it forms
a COBOL word. For more information about operating system file names, see
the Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual.
define-name
is the name of a DEFINE associated with the file to which run-time messages
are directed. It is not enclosed in quotation marks.
Note. WAITED-IO works only in the non-CRE environment. The CRE ignores it.
