Set PL/I Processing Options panel

The Set PL/I Processing Options panel is displayed when you select option 4 from the Set Language and Compiler Specifications menu.

The panel allows you to specify:
  • Selected PL/I compiler options that FM/IMS uses when it builds templates from PL/I copybooks.
  • The maximum return code that FM/IMS accepts from the PL/I compiler when building a template.

Enter the RESET command to reset all the options on the panel to the installation defaults.

Enter the EXIT command (F3) to exit the panel saving the changes you have made.

Enter the CANCEL command (F12), to exit the panel without saving the changes you have made.

PL/I Compiler Options
Compiler options to be used when compiling PL/I copybooks into a template:
GRAPHIC
If selected, use the GRAPHIC compiler option. Otherwise, use NOGRAPHIC.
63 bit binary
If selected, use the LIMITS(FIXEDBIN(63)) compiler option. Otherwise, use LIMITS(FIXEDBIN(31)).
UNALIGNED
DEFAULT RANGE (*) UNALIGNED; when compiling PL/I copybooks. This changes the default for structure alignments.
31 digit decimal
If selected, use the LIMITS(FIXEDDEC(31)) compiler option. Otherwise, use LIMITS(FIXEDDEC(15)).
Additional options
Additional PL/I compiler options which are added via the *PROCESS statement when a PL/I compile is run to build or update template. These options are validated during the compile process. To avoid compile errors ensure that the syntax is correct and that any additional data sets required by these options are allocated before invoking File Manager.
Maximum Return Code
Sets the maximum warning/error code accepted from the compiler, when compiling a copybook. Any code higher than specified causes File Manager to display a pop-up panel, in which you can review the compilation and decide about future processing.

For details on the effect of these compiler options, see the IBM VisualAge PL/I for OS/390 Programming Guide.
