Using the COBOL module compilation settings, you can specify a range of COBOL compiler properties and apply them to the current IDE project or globally for the current user. (You can reset all properties by selecting the Default property level.)

Specifying Compilation Settings
To
access COBOL module compilation settings:
From the Tools menu, select Options.
In the Options Window, expand the Building folder and the Compiler Types node.
Select OpenVMS COBOL Compilation Settings.
A separate property page is provided for COBOL settings.
Default property values are as follows. Properties not shown here have no default value. (For description of these properties, see the following table.)

Usage Notes
Values in curly braces {} are macros - in effect, placeholders for a property value. For example {include} is a macro for the Include property, the default value of which is /include.
To change a property setting, select the appropriate property by clicking on the corresponding row and entering data in the right column. Click the Customizer button
to open a Property Editor dialog box (which usually presents a text box or a directory browser).
Some properties that are user or project specific have no values at the Default level. Since properties can not be set at the Default level, any property you change at the Default level is interpreted as a project specific modification unless you select the User level.
