7.2.9 Check Function

The Check function was introduced in version 6.1 of PowerCOBOL. It corresponds to the NetCOBOL compiler's "Check" function. It is typically used in debugging mode as it causes additional code to be generated by the compiler and performance is degraded as a result.

You should always rebuild your application when changing the Check option.

The following sub options are available under the Check function when enabled:

Message Count

Sets the number of times certain runtime error messages are to be ignored, thus allowing execution to continue.

Check Item

Selects the target to check.
