  installed copy of the COBOL compiler.
  There is no way to force the use of the File Manager internal
  COBOL compiler system-wide.
  Individual TSO users and batch jobs can allocate ddname FMNCOB

Comments

• File Manager has been updated to allow control over the usage of
  the File Manager internal compiler.
  A new FACILITY class profile called : FILEM.COBOL.INTERNAL can
  be defined.
  If a userid has been granted access other than NONE then the
  File Manager internal compiler will be used , even if there is a
  customer installed COBOL compiler (IGYCRCTL  present on the
  system.
  
  Please note that because File Manager is issuing RACROUTE call
  with STATUS=ACCESS , some 3rd party security products
  (ie non RACF  require additional definitions to avoid S047
  security abends.
