SOURCE-COMPUTER paragraph

Function

The SOURCE-COMPUTER paragraph identifies the data processing system on which the compilation unit is to be compiled; it may also be used to specify debugging aids.

Format


SOURCE-COMPUTER. [computer-name [WITH DEBUGGING MODE]. ]


Syntax rule

  1. computer-name must be a user-defined COBOL word.

General rules

  1. All clauses of this paragraph apply to the program in which they are explicitly or implicitly specified.

  2. When the paragraph is not specified, or if it is specified but the computer-name is not, the computer upon which the compilation unit is being compiled is the compilation computer.

  3. If the WITH-DEBUGGING-MODE clause is specified, all debugging lines are compiled as specified in the rules described in section "Debugging lines" of chapter "Debugging".

  4. If the WITH-DEBUGGING-MODE clause is not specified in a program, any debugging lines are compiled as if they were comment lines.
