Additional SYSLIB data sets

When you use one of the preceding FM/Db2 functions, if the COBOL copybook that you specify uses COPY compiler-directing statements to include other members that do not belong to the same PDSs as the copybooks, then you need to specify those other PDSs here.

Here's why: members included by COPY compiler-directing statements must be found in the SYSLIB concatenation. When you specify a copybook on a File Manager/Db2 panel, the SYSLIB concatenation consists of the PDS of the copybook, plus up to ten additional PDSs that you can specify on this panel. These PDSs are searched in order (PDS of the copybook, followed by these additional PDSs, 1–10.)

COBOL REPLACE options

From and To pseudo-text character strings for the REPLACE compiler-directing statement.

If the COBOL copybook contains characters that you want to replace with other characters before compiling the copybook into a template, then use these replacing options.

For example, if the copybook contains colon characters (:) that you want to remove before compiling, then specify ==:== as a From string and ===== as the matching To string.

For details on specifying From and To strings for REPLACE, see the IBM COBOL Language Reference.

COBOL Compiler Options

Compiler options to be used when compiling a COBOL copybook into a template:

DBCS

Instructs File Manager to use the DBCS compiler option.

Decimal-point is comma

Uses the "Decimal-point is comma" SPECIAL-NAMES paragraph when compiling COBOL copybooks.

Arith(extend)

Uses the Arith(extend) COBOL compile option when compiling COBOL copybooks.

Mixed case field names

Retains the original case of the field name as coded in the COBOL copybook.

Maximum Return Code

Sets the maximum warning/error code accepted from the compiler, when compiling a copybook. Any code higher than specified causes FM/Db2 to display a pop-up panel, in which you can review the compilation and decide about future processing.

Additional options

Additional COBOL compiler options which are added via the CBL statement when a COBOL compile is run to build or update a template. These options are validated during the compilation process. To avoid compilation errors, ensure that the syntax is correct and that any additional data sets required by these options are allocated before invoking File Manager.
