TNS and TNS/R Programs.
EXECUTION-LOG
filename
N.A. The file to which the CRE writes log 
messages. It can also be used to specify 
the standard input and standard output files. 
For more details, see Standard Log on 
page 2-33, Standard Input on page 2-29, 
and Standard Output
 on page 2-31. 
INSPECT ON
OFF
OFF Whether the CRE invokes a debugger or 
terminates your program if certain language-
specific run-time errors occur. Although this 
PARAM is called INSPECT, you can control 
whether your program invokes the default 
debugging utility or the symbolic debugging 
utility. For more details, see the DEBUG and 
PARAM commands in the TACL Reference 
Manual.
NONSTOP ON
OFF
ON Whether your program can run as a process 
pair. To run as a process pair, your program 
must also specify the NONSTOP compiler 
directive, which is supported only by the 
TNS COBOL, TNS/R COBOL (software 
product revision T8107AAT or more recent), 
TNS/E COBOL, and FORTRAN compilers.
