Setting Compiler Options - COBOL Include Directories

Use this pane area to specify an additional search path if the copybook file name listed in the COPY statement is not specified using its absolute path name, or if a library name is not specified on the COPY statement. Choosing this option is the same as entering the -I option when invoking the compiler on the command line.

To add a copybook directory, type the directory name in the text entry field directly above the Add pushbutton then select Add. The directory will be added to the list of directories above the text entry field.

To manipulate the list, you can:

• Scroll the list using the scroll bars.
• Select Delete to delete the selected directories from the list.
• Select Up to move the selected directory higher in the list.
• Select Down to move the selected directory lower in the list.

Notes:

1. If multiple directories are selected and no text is typed in, only the Delete button is active.
2. To save any changes made in the COBOL window, click on either the OK or Apply button.
3. Shell-meta characters, such as $ or \, are not allowed as directory, library, or file names.
4. The Program Builder does not search directories specified by the SYSLIB environment variable when searching for copybook file dependencies.
