Planning to customize Enterprise COBOL

When you plan the customization of Enterprise COBOL, you need to consider whether to modify compiler-option default values and whether to create an additional reserved-word table.

If you're installing IBM Debug for z/OS (formerly IBM Debug for z Systems® and IBM Debug Tool for z/OS), you can decide whether to place its modules in shared storage, and whether to set up your CICS® environment to work with the debugger.

For the actual customization procedures, see Customizing Enterprise COBOL.

This information also contains worksheets to help you plan modifications to the IBM-supplied default values within macros. For an explanation about the planning sheets, see Using the macro planning worksheets.
