Preprocessing Tools

-saveretcode

Restores the RETURN-CODE value in a program after an NDB2 statement is called.

-dmlseq

Outputs a sequence number of DML segments in a program.

-uc

Lists DML segments in a program.

-o <output name>

Specifies an output file name.

-copypath <path>

Specifies an additional copybook path other than the copybook path set in the environment variable. Specify one option for one copybook path.

--enable-osvs

Preprocesses OS/VS COBOL syntax.

--enable-rw

Preprocesses syntax related to IBM Report Writer.

--enable-include

Searches the file declared as EXEC SQL INCLUDE from the directory specified by DB2INCLUDE environment variable first, then the directory specified by the OFCOBCPY and finally the current directory. The source is inserted into the directory.

--enable-declare

Searches the file declared as EXEC SQL INCLUDE from the directory specified by DB2INCLUDE environment variable first, then the directory specified by the OFCOBCPY and finally the current directory. The source is inserted into the directory. Adds the EXEC SQL DECLARE statement if the statement does not exist before or after the DATA DIVISION variable referenced by the EXEC SQL statement.

--collating-seq-ebcdic

Adds statements for setting the collating sequence to EBCDIC.

--add-missing-period

Adds an ending period in a sentence before a section or paragraph if it is missed. The section or paragraph must be declared in area A.

--conv-stop-run

Converts a STOP statement to a GOBACK statement and then preprocesses it.

--disable-cpy-limit

Disables the 8-character limit on the target copybook name when using the COPY statement.

--expanded

Performs the preprocessing supporting expanded COBOL syntax. For information about available expanded COBOL syntax, refer to "Appendix C. Expanded COBOL" in OpenFrame COBOL Language Reference Guide.

--conv-nominal-key

Replaces the NOMINAL KEY clause with the ORGANIZATION INDEXED clause when the --enable-osvs option is used.

-o <output name>

Specifies an output file name.

--version

Displays the current version of ofcbppf.

-v

Specifies that the COBOL program has variable-length format.

-l

Insert a DISPLAY statement that prints the SECTION and PARAGRAPH names.

-c <num>

-t

Generates code that calls callpush and callpop functions during a CALL statement execution. Use this option to pass the functions' arguments to OpenFrame.

--resolve-console

Enables the use of the UPON CONSOLE phrase of the DIDSPLAY statement.

--print-rename

Outputs variable names before and after the preprocessing.

--user-ndb-exception

Disables automatically generating code for processing DB EXCEPTION and DEAD LOCK during NDB statement preprocessing.

--config-print

Enables changing print control code generated after preprocessing MODE and CHARACTER TYPE clauses, by using a CSV config file.

--call-assembly

Generates code that provides parameter information during CALL statement execution so that variable_parameter_list of OFASM can be used.

-o <output name>

Specifies an output file name.

--version

Displays the current version of ofcbppe.

-copypath <path>

Specifies the directory path to COPYBOOK.

--enable-osvs

Performs the preprocessing supporting OS/VS COBOL syntax.

--enable-rw

Performs the preprocessing supporting IBM REPORT WRITER related syntax.

--enable-varchar

Recognizes user-declared COBOL group items as ESQL’s VARCHAR data type.

--enable-mode-ansi

Uses ANSI dynamic SQL. If Tibero dynamic SQL is used when this option is specified, the precompiler causes a syntax error.

--enable-unsafe-null

Option to allow NULL when there is no indicator variable. This option can also be used to omit an indicator variable even when NULL is expected.

--enable-runtime-odbc

Used to use Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).

--enable-close-on-commit

Closes the cursor at commit time.

--enable-mssql

Replaces DB2 SQL with MSSQL SQL.

--enable-end-of-fetch-100

Specifies SQLCODE to return to a user as 100 in END-OF-FETCH after SQL statement execution.

--enable-loglvl-debug

Specifies "LOG_LVL" and "DEBUG" in esql_set_option.

--remove-quote

Removes quotation marks when tbdb2cblcv is used with ROWNUM.

--disable-cpy-limit

Disables the 8-character limit on the target copybook name when using the COPY statement.

-o <output name>

Specifies an output file name.

--version

Displays the current version of ofcbppd.

-copypath <path>

Specifies the directory path to COPYBOOK.

--enable-osvs

Performs the preprocessing supporting OS/VS COBOL syntax.

--enable-rw

Performs the preprocessing supporting IBM REPORT WRITER related syntax.

--oracle

Enables ORACLE database.
