Files of Dummy Routines
Files of Dummy Routines
Files of dummy routines enable the compiler to accept ENTER statements that are to
be resolved at program load time rather than by Binder during compilation (in the case
of the COBOL85 compiler) or by the linker (in the case of the NMCOBOL compiler).
When you install the compiler, the files of dummy routines are stored on the subvolume
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM. If you move any of them to another subvolume, use the
CONSULT directive to tell the compiler where to find the files you moved.
CBL85UTL Overview
CBL85UTL routines fall into two functional categories:
•
FastSort interface routines
•
Other routines
The CBL85UTL file is only for the COBOL85 compiler. Its CRE routines are also in the
ZCOBSRL file, which is for the NMCOBOL compiler.

COBOLEX0 NMCOBEX0 Contains one dummy routine for each operating system
routine in the EXTDECS0 file. Represents the latest
RVU.
COBOLEX1 NMCOBEX1 Contains one dummy routine for each operating system
routine in the EXTDECS1 file. Represents the next-to-
latest RVU.
COBOLEXT NMCOBEXT Contains one dummy routine for each operating system
routine in the EXTDECS file. Represents the second-
next-to-latest RVU.
CBLIBEXT Contains one dummy routine for each COBOLLIB
routine. Your system manager can bind all the
CBLIBEXT routines into COBOLEXT.
