Compiler options for the integrated CICS translator
Table 1 lists compiler options for Enterprise COBOL programs that use the integrated CICS® translator.
| Compiler option | Comments |
|---|---|
| CICS | The CICS compiler
option enables the integrated CICS translator
capability. The CICS option
must be specified if the source program contains CICS statements and has not been processed by
the integrated CICS translator.
The CICS option requires that the NODYNAM, and RENT options also are in effect. Enterprise COBOL forces on these options if DYNAM or NORENT are specified at the same level as the CICS option. If NOCICS option is specified, any CICS statements found in the source program will receive S-level messages and be discarded. |
| NODYNAM | NODYNAM is required for programs
translated by the CICS translator
because the CICS command-level
stub cannot be dynamically called.
Note: Dynamic calls
are supported under CICS by
the use of the CALL identifier format of the CALL statement, or by
the use of the >>CALLINTERFACE DYNAM directive.
|
| RENT | RENT is required for CICS programs. RENT causes the compiler to produce reentrant code and allows you to place the COBOL modules in the LPA or ELPA and thus shared among multiple address spaces under CICS. Also, the modules cannot be overwritten, since the LPA and ELPA are read-only storage. |
