Working with the Compiler Options View


The Workbench for Eclipse Code Analysis perspective includes a Compiler Options view that allows you to view and modify the compile options for a source member open in the Workbench COBOL Editor or Workbench PL/I Editor. The Compiler Options view, which is adjacent to the Data Flow view, indicates the language, Enterprise COBOL or PL/I, of the source member and allows you to change certain parameters.

Specifying Compiler Options for a program member

  1. Open a program member from Host Explorer.
  2. To specify COBOL options, first select Enterprise COBOL from the Language level dropdown list, then specify desired COBOL values for SQL Apostrophe Quote and COBOL Apostrophe Quote.
  3. To specify PL/I options, first select PL/I from the Language level dropdown list, then specify desired PL/I values for Left Margin, Right Margin, NOT Symbol, OR Symbol, and SQL Apostrophe Quote. To optionally use PL/I preprocessor values:
    1. Select the Enable PL/I Preprocessor checkbox.
    2. To specify preprocessor parameters, click the PL/I Preprocessor Parameters Edit button.
    3. To add a variable/value pair, click New, specify a Name and Value in the Change Preprocessor Parameter dialog box, then click OK.
    4. To modify an existing variable/value pair, select it, click Edit, modify the Name and/or Value, then click OK.
    5. To delete an existing variable/value pair, select it and click Remove.
    6. When the entries in the PL/I Preprocessor Parameters dialog box are configured as desired, click OK.
