Can anyone tell me how do we pass Cobol Compiler option (Dynam,Nodynam) to APS-Cobol.

My requirement is i want to pass cobol compiler option for compiling APS-Cobol program.

I don't know about "APS", but use a PROCESS or CBL statement to set those options.

Thanks for reply William,
But CBL statemet, we use for normal batch cobol program (Cobol,cobol-2,os390 cobol) not for APS Cobol.

From looking at the APS documentation it seams that you don't have to worry about the Dynam/Nodynam option.

Thanks for the link Williams,
I have gone through that.

I know i neednot worry about Dynam/Nodynam option but i need to pass TRUNC(STD)/TRUNC(BIN) (Because of some other errors which i am getting) for APS Cobol programs.

So I want to know how do we pass cobol compiler parameter in APS Cobol.

Can't you just stick them ahead of the id section?

Yes for normal Cobol (Cobol, Cobol-2 and OS-390) we can put this parameter before ID Section.
But with APS equivivalent code would be generated through Batch JCL(dynamically).

Actually APS' compile JCL, first converts APS-Cobol program to normal cobol and then compiles it.

So as the code is generated dynamically we have no control on ID Section.
