Setting Workspace Verification Options: Settings Tab

Use the Verification > Settings tab of the Workspace Options window to specify verification behavior for the workspace. Among other tasks, you can:

Enable staged parsing, which may improve verification performance by letting you control which verification stages the parser performs.
Enable relaxed parsing, which lets you verify source despite errors.

Click Options > Workspace Options. The Workspace Options window opens. Click the Verification tab, then the Settings tab.
In the Source Type pane, select the source file type whose verification options you want to specify.

Set verification options for the source file type. The table below shows the available options.

Note: Click the More or Details button if an option listed below does not appear on the Settings tab.

Option	Source File	Description
Allow Implicit Instream Data	JCL	Specifies that a DD * statement be inserted before implicit instream data if the statement was omitted from JCL.
Allow Keywords to Be Used as Identifiers	COBOL, Copybook	Enables the parser to recognize COBOL keywords used as identifiers.
At Sign	System Definition File	Specifies the national language character for the at symbol.
C/C++ Parser Parameters	C, C++	Specifies the parameters used to compile the application. You can also specify these parameters in the Project Verification options, in which case the project parameters are used for verification.
Create Alternative Entry Point	COBOL	Specifies that an additional entry point be created with a name based on the conversion pattern you enter in the Conversion Pattern field. Supports systems in which load module names differ from program IDs. For assistance, contact support services.
Cross-reference Report	TWS Schedule	Specifies the full path of the TWS cross-reference report (.xrf).
Currency Sign	System Definition File	Specifies the national language character for the currency symbol.
Debugging Lines	COBOL	Specifies parsing of debugging lines: Off, to parse lines as comments; On, to parse lines as normal statements; Auto, to parse lines based on the program debugging mode.
Detect Potential Code Anomalies	COBOL	Enables generation of Interactive Analysis information on potential code anomalies.
Enable Interactive Analysis	COBOL, Natural, PL/I, RPG, JCL	Enables generation of Interactive Analysis information.
Enable Quoted SQL Identifiers	Assembler File, COBOL, DDL, PL/I	Enables the parser to recognize quoted SQL identifiers. Strings delimited by double quotation marks are interpreted as object identifiers.
Enable Reference Reports	COBOL, Control Language, ECL, JCL, Natural, PL/I, RPG, W.L.	Enables generation of complete repository information for logical objects.
Enter classpath to JAR Files and/or path to external Java file root directories	Java	Specifies any combination of: JAR files containing class libraries referenced in the Java application, or Zip files containing external Java files referenced in the application. Alternatively, specify the path of the folder for the JAR or Zip files, then select Include Jar/Zip Files From Directories. Paths of the root folders for external Java files referenced in the application. Note: This option is checked after the identical option in the project verification options. Setting the project verification option effectively overrides the setting here.
Extralingual Characters	System Definition File	Adds the specified lower-case national language characters to the supported character set. Do not separate characters with a space.
Extralingual Upper Characters	System Definition File	Adds the specified upper-case national language characters to the supported character set. Do not separate characters with a space.
Generate program entry points for functions with same name as file	C	Specifies that a program entry point be created for the function that has the same name as the file. Typically used to trace calls to C programs from COBOL, PL/I, Natural, RPG, or Assembler programs.
Generate program entry points for main functions	C	Specifies that a program entry point be created for functions named "main". Typically used to trace calls to C programs from COBOL, PL/I, Natural, RPG, or Assembler programs.
Ignore Duplicate Entry Points	All	Enables the parser to recognize duplicate entry points defined by the COBOL statement ENTRY ‘PROG-ID’ USING A, or its equivalent in other languages. The parser creates an entry point object for the first program in which the entry point was encountered and issues a warning for the second program. To use this option, you must select Enable Reference Reports. You cannot use this option to verify multiple programs with the same program ID.
Ignore Text After Column 72	DDL	Enables the parser to ignore trailing enumeration characters (columns 73 through 80) in source lines.
Imply CMPAT=Yes	PSB	Specifies that `CMPAT=Yes` is assumed even if it hasn't been set in PSBGEN. When `CMPAT=Yes` is specified, it instructs IMS to generate an I/O PCB for all uses, even in environments where it is not used, such as batch or CICS. If you use this option, you won't need to recompile the program between batch and online executions.
Import instream data from DSN	JCL	Imports data sets in HyperCode: Instream data sets. Control card patterns. Note: This option can increase the verification time of JCL and also increase the size of the database.
JCL Variable Definitions	JCL	Use this to set global symbol definitions used during JCL parsing. This works in the same way as the SystemSymbols element in the JCL section of Legacy.xml file. You can specify a `Name`=`Value` pair for each line. To add a new entry right-click in the JCL Variable Definitions field, and then click Add. Only lines with a checked box will be used in verification. Note: Do not specify the "&" character used in a symbol reference. For example, use `PRG` not `&PRG` as the name. Delimiters are not required around the values; all text after the "=", including any spaces, are treated as the value. In JCL files, a reference to `&Name` will be substituted with the available `Value`, unless there is a more local definition of that symbol name in the context of that reference. For example, a PROC statement might have a symbol definition that redefines the value of that symbol within the scope of that procedure. There is no special processing done based on the type of `Value` - values with spaces or digits are substituted in for the reference as they are specified in the option.
Libraries support	Natural	Enables Natural library support. For more information, see "Natural Support" in the online help.
List of Include Directories	C, C++	Specifies the full path of the folders for include files (either original folders or Repository Browser folders if the include files were registered). Choose a recognized folder in the List of Include Directories pane. Add folders as necessary. You can also specify these folders in the Project Verification options, in which case the parser looks only for the folders for the project.
Number Sign	System Definition File	Specifies the national language character for the number symbol.
Perform Dead Code Analysis	COBOL, PL/I, RPG	Enables collection of dead code statistics.
Perform DSN Calling Chains Analysis	Control Language, ECL, JCL, WFL	Enables analysis of dataset calling chains.
Perform System Calls Analysis	JCL	Enables analysis of system program input data to determine the application program started in a job step.
Relaxed Parsing	AS400 Screen, BMS, COBOL, Copybook, CSD, DDL, Device Description, DPS, ECL, MFS, Natural, Netron Specification Frame, PL/I	Enables relaxed parsing.
Relaxed Parsing for Embedded Statements	Assembler File, COBOL, PL/I	Enables relaxed parsing for embedded SQL, CICS, or DLI statements.
Resolve Decisions Automatically	Control Language, WFL	Enables automatic decision resolution.
Show Macro Generation	C, C++	Specifies whether to display statements that derive from macro processing in Interactive Analysis.
Sort Program Aliases	JCL	Enables batch sort card analysis. Choose a recognized sort utility in the Sort Program Aliases pane. Add sort utilities as necessary.
SQL Statements Processor	COBOL	Specifies whether the SQL Preprocessor or Coprocessor was used to process embedded SQL statements.
System Procedures	JCL	Specifies the system procedures referenced by JCL files. Add system procedures as necessary.
Timeout in seconds to stop verification execution	All	The number of seconds to wait before stopping a stalled verification process.
Treat every file with main procedure as a program	C, C++	Specifies whether to treat only files with main functions as programs.
Trim Date from Active Schedule Names	TWS Schedule	Specifies whether to append the effective date range to a TWS jobstream object.
Truncate Names of Absolute Elements	ECL	Allows the parser to truncate suffixes in the names of COBOL programs called by ECL. Specify a suffix in the adjoining text box.
Use Database Schema	Assembler File, COBOL, PL/I	Specifies whether to associate a program with a database schema. When this option is selected, the parser collects detailed information about SQL ports that cannot be determined from program text (SELECT *). If the schema does not contain the items the SQL statement refers to, an error is generated.
Workstation Report	TWS Schedule	Specifies the full path of the TWS workstation report (.wdr).
