    - Enabling WebSphere® MQ support
      To access WebSphere® MQ queue managers and queue contents on the local z/OS® system where File Manager is running, the WebSphere MQ libraries must be made available to File Manager and users must be granted read and update access.
    - Customizing for processing COBOL copybooks
      To use the view, edit, copy, print, or data create functions with a COBOL copybook, you need to make a COBOL compiler available to File Manager.
      - Using a supported COBOL compiler
        If a supported COBOL compiler is available and will be used by File Manager, review the following sections for customization tasks you might need to perform.
      - Using the File Manager COBOL compiler
        Forcing the use of the File Manager COBOL compiler
        Adding the COBOL compiler library to the batch JCL skeletons

- Verifying the customization of File Manager
  After you have completed the initial installation and customization of File Manager Base function, you can perform the following steps to verify your customization.

Using COBOL compiler options with File Manager

File Manager overrides certain COBOL compiler options when it invokes the COBOL compiler. These options are:

ADATA         INEXIT
ADEXIT        LIB
ARITH         LINECOUNT
COMPILE       OBJECT
DBCS          OPTIMIZE
DECK          PRTEXIT
FLAG          SQL

If you are using the File Manager COBOL compiler, these options are not marked as fixed in the provided COBOL default options module, FMN0DOPT, and you cannot change this. There is no facility to manipulate the options provided in the File Manager COBOL compiler.
