Precompiler settings can be changed by clicking the Precompiler tab in the Option Setting dialog box.
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Use Precompiler | Select this item to create precompiler link information in the makefile for the COBOL project. When using the precomplier, first add the precomplier build tool and set precomplier link information for the project properties. If the precomplier build tool is not suitable for the project, makefile could not be created correctly. If not selected, precompiler link information is not created in the makefile even though the information is set. For details about the precomplier setting method, refer to "6.2.3 Creating a COBOL program by using the precompiler". |
Precompiler command | Specifies the name of the command that starts the precompiler. |
Precompiler parameters | Specifies the precompiler command parameters. |
Precompiler source extension | Specifies the extension of the input source file for the precompiler. The following extensions cannot be specified:
|
Precompiler output source extension | Specifies the extension of an output source file for the precompiler. |
Use original source line numbers for error messages | If this item is checked, COBOL compiler error messages are displayed using the line number in the original source, rather than the line number of the preprocessed source. (The INSDBINF command is invoked.) The default setting is unchecked. |
INSDBINF parameters | This item sets the parameters of the INSDBINF command (*), which develops line information for the precompiler input source in COBOL source files generated by precompilation. Note that input and output source file names cannot be specified because they are determined from precompiler input source file names. |
Initialize | Changes the values to those specified in the precompiler link information on the preferences Precompiler page. |
*: For the INSDBINF command, refer to "6.2.2 INSDBINF command".
For more information about precompiler link information, see "6.2.1 Setting and changing initial values of precompiler link information

Details of the compile options specific to remote development are as follows:
CODECHK compile option
This option specifies whether to perform a compile-time check of the national language code system at execution time (CODECHK) or not (NOCODECHK). When creating a program that does not depend on the national language code system (program common to ASCII, EUC, and Unicode), specify NOCODECHK.
Item | Description | |
|---|---|---|
National language code system check at execution time | Specifies whether to perform a compile-time check of the national language code system at execution time. The default is CODECHK. | |
CODECHK | Performs a compile-time check of the national language code system at execution time. | |
NOCODECHK | Does not perform a compile-time check of the national language code system at execution time. | |
KANA compile option
This option specifies the code sets for kana characters in non-numeric literals, alphabetic and alphanumeric data items.
Item | Description | |
|---|---|---|
KANA character code processing | Specifies how to process the kana character code set. The default is KANA(EUC). | |
KANA(EUC) | Two-byte codes (EUC) are used for kana character codes. | |
KANA(JIS8) | One-byte codes (JIS) are used for kana character codes. | |
LALIGN compile option
This option specifies whether to generate objects based on an assumption that data is aligned on an eight-byte boundary (LALIGN) or not (NOLALIGN) when data declared in the linkage section is referenced. The data processing speed is faster when objects are generated based on an assumption that data is aligned on an eight-byte boundary.
Item | Description | |
|---|---|---|
Processing of data declared in LINKAGE SECTION | Specifies how to process data declaration in the linkage section. The default is NOLALIGN. | |
NOLALIGN | Does not assume that data is aligned on an eight-byte boundary. | |
