SET Directive

The SET directive allows to set a Compiler Configuration property for a program.

>> SET [NO] PropertyName PropertyValue

Syntax:

1.	PropertyName is a text string that specifies the property name. It can be delimited by quotes.

2.	PropertyValue is a text string that specifies the property value. It can be delimited by quotes. It can be written between parenthesis.

General rules:

1.	PropertyName can be any of the properties described in Compiler Configuration stripped of the "iscobol.compiler" prefix.

2.	The following properties cannot be set:

•	max_paragraphs

•	max_constants

•	max_hostvars

•

regexp

3.	When the NO keyword is used, then PropertyValue shouldn’t be specified. In this way, the property is unset.

Alternative syntax

The following equivalent syntax is supported for compatibility:

$SET [NO] PropertyName PropertyValue

The dollar sign must appear in the source indicator area.

Example

A Java bridge program will be generated for the following program:

>>SET "easylinkage" "1"        program-id. eg001.         ...
