Cobol compatibility

z/OS Language Environment Customization
SA38-0685-00

Restriction: COBOL is not supported for AMODE 64 applications.

VS COBOL II supported an order of runtime options and program options that is the reverse of that of Language Environment: program arguments precede runtime options in COBOL. To ensure compatibility with COBOL, Language Environment provides the runtime option CBLOPTS, which specifies whether runtime options or program arguments are first in the character parameter.

For example:
CBLOPTS=OFF
//GO EXEC PGM=PROGRAM1,PARM='AIXBLD/'
CBLOPTS=ON
//GO EXEC PGM=PROGRAM1,PARM='/AIXBLD'
