COBOL (option 4.2)

ISPF generates an ISPEXEC SELECT PGM(IGYCRCTL) statement to invoke a COBOL compiler using the values you enter on the Foreground 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 in Input data sets, and here:

Test: If you plan to run interactive debug after you compile your program, enter TEST in the Test field. Otherwise, enter NOTEST.
Other: If you plan to run VS COBOL II interactive debug after you compile your program, enter RESIDENT in the Other field. Otherwise, just enter any other options you need.
Be careful not to enter the LIB and OBJECT options in the Other field. ISPF generates these options automatically. LIB specifies the input data set concatenation sequence. OBJECT writes the output object module to a partitioned data set. See Input data sets and Object data sets for more information.
