COBOL compile (option 5.2)

ISPF generates an ISPEXEC SELECT PGM(IGYCRCTL) statement to invoke a COBOL compiler using the values you enter on the Batch COBOL Compile panel, shown in Figure 1. For information about COBOL allocation data sets, see the topic about Allocation Data Sets in the z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I.

All the fields on this panel are explained in the "ISPF Libraries and Data Sets" topic of the z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I, except List ID, which is explained in List data sets, "Additional input libraries", which is explained here and in Input data sets:

Term

In the Term field, enter TERM if you want ISPF to generate a terminal data set. A terminal data set contains a synopsis of the error messages produced by the COBOL compiler. If the input data set is partitioned, the terminal data set name is:

prefix.member.TERM

where prefix is the data set name prefix in your TSO user profile, if you have one, and member is the name of the member being assembled. However, if the input data set is sequential, the terminal data set name is:

prefix.TEMPNAME.TERM

Enter NOTERM in the Term field to avoid generating the terminal data set. This is a required field.

Other

If you plan to run VS COBOL II interactive debug after you compile your program, enter TEST, RESIDENT, and any other options you need in the Other field.
