–c
This option terminates the compiler run once an LLM has been generated and stored in an object file named basename.o for each source file compiled. basename is the name of the source file without its directory components and without the .cob or .cbl extension. The object file is written to the current directory.
If a compilation unit is compiled without this option, a linkage run is started once compilation is complete.
–k filename
This option allows you to specify a COBOL source file which does not have the extension .cbl or .cob.
If the source file name specified with -k does however end with the suffix .cbl or .cob, this suffix is overwritten with the suffix .o or .lst when the basename for the object and listing files is formed.
–v
This option causes the following information to be displayed on the screen:
Copyright and version strings of the driver for the COBOL2000 compiler and the cobol command
Messages of the COBOL2000 compiler relating to accepted control statements
All the information and error messages of the compilation run
CPU time consumed
the full command line for the call to the linkage editor
This option affects only the output of the COBOL2000 compiler.
–W err-level
This option is mapped internally to COMOPT MINIMAL-SEVERITY = err-level. The COMOPT MINIMAL-SEVERITY should not therefore be passed with -C.
As a result of this option, the diagnostic listing excludes any messages with an error level lower than the specified value. The possible values for err-level are:
| information (default) warning error unrecoverable error system error |
