Compiling and running CICS programs
To compile COBOL for Linux® TXSeries® or CICS® TX programs, use the cob2 or cob2_cics command.
About this task
TRUNC(BIN)
is a recommended compiler option for
a COBOL program that will run under CICS.
However, if you are certain that the nontruncated values of BINARY
, COMP
,
and COMP-4
data items conform to their PICTURE
specifications,
you might be able to improve program performance by using TRUNC(OPT)
.
You
can use a COMP-5
data item instead of a BINARY
, COMP
,
or COMP-4
data item as an EXEC CICS
command
argument. COMP-5
data items are treated like BINARY
, COMP
,
or COMP-4
data items if TRUNC(BIN)
is in effect.
You
must use the PGMNAME(MIXED)
compiler option for programs
that use CICS Client.
Do not use the DYNAM
or ADDR(64)
compiler option when you
translate a COBOL program (using either the
separate or integrated
CICS translator). All other COBOL compiler options are
supported.

Runtime options: Use the FILESYS
runtime
option to specify the default file system if no file system has been
specified for a file by means of an ASSIGN
clause.
