ENABLE ATTRIBUTES

SCOBOLCOMPILER Attribute

The SCOBOLCOMPILER attribute identifies the SCREEN COBOL

compiler that produces object code for an application. The

syntax of the SCOBOLCOMPILER attribute is:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

| |

| SCOBOLCOMPILER [ <compiler-name> ] |

| |

| NOTE: APPL must be the object type in effect when you |

| supply a value for this application attribute. |

| |

| <compiler-name> |

| |

| identifies the file containing the SCREEN COBOL compiler. |

| |

| If you omit <compiler-name> with the SCOBOLCOMPILER |

| attribute, ENABLE suppresses compilation of the SCREEN |

| COBOL program. |

| |

| The starting value of the SCOBOLCOMPILER attribute is |

| "$system.system.scobolx." |

| |

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Considerations

To obtain SCREEN COBOL source code before compiling the

application, you can omit the <compiler-name> and set a value for

the SCOBOLSOURCE attribute. If you do this, you must compile the

SCREEN COBOL source code and edit the generated PATHCOM file

before you execute the application.

You can use this attribute to specify an alternate compiler for

load balancing.

If you attempt to suppress SCREEN COBOL compilation and request a

listing using the SET SCOBOLLIST command, ENABLE responds with an

error message.
