B.3 Command-Line Qualifiers (Options or Flags)
Oracle CDD/Repository is not supported by Compaq COBOL on OpenVMS Alpha
when /NATIONALITY=JAPAN is used.
When /NATIONALITY=US or
-nationality us
is specified on the compile
command line, the dollar sign ($) is the default currency sign and symbol, and
Japanese Language Support features are disabled.
/STANDARD=MIA, -std mia
If /STANDARD=MIA or
-std mia
are present on the compile command line, the
compiler will issue informational diagnostics for those language elements that do
not conform to the MIA specifications:
• Compaq syntax extension from Base Standards (ANSI-85, JIS-88)
• Two of four optional modules
• All obsolete language elements of required modules in Base Standards
• Language elements omitted from required modules in Base Standards due to
the different implementation of the vendors
• Compaq specific Japanese features out of MIA Extension Elements related to
Japanese
To receive the diagnostics, the
-warn all
flag, /WARNINGS=ALL qualifier,
-warn
information
flag, or /WARNING=INFORMATION qualifier is required.
The default is NOMIA.
