COBOL Copybook Importer compiler preferences

You can set the COBOL compiler preferences for an individual file import through the importer wizard. You can also change the default compiler options in the COBOL Preferences page.

To set the default COBOL compiler preferences, go to Window > Preferences . Expand the Importer option and select COBOL. Set the COBOL compiler preferences under the various tabs.

If you are importing COBOL copybooks that contain data types G for graphic, or N for national, be sure to set the locale correctly.

When you are importing data from these different file types, you can also select the correct file extension support option for each of the file types. These settings control how the importer operation processes the copybook and generates the type tree. Therefore, the settings must correctly reflect the contents of the copybook that is being imported.
