ACTIVATE-FLAGGING option

This option causes the compiler to flag certain language elements according to ANS85 or according to the “Federal Information Processing Standard” (FIPS) with a class F message in the diagnostic listing.

Format

ACTIVATE-FLAGGING = *NO / *ANS85

ACTIVATE-FLAGGING = *NO
No language elements are flagged in the diagnostic listing.

When ANS85 is specified, obsolete language elements and also any non-standard language extensions are flagged with a class F message (severity code F) in the diagnostic listing.

The following flags are used in the message texts:

“obsolete” “nonconforming nonstandard”

for obsolete language elements for all language extensions (additions to ANS85)
