Access JCL files from the machine running the enterprise server.
Syntax
SET CASSPOOL_LOCK_RETRY_COUNT=count
CASSPOOL_LOCK_RETRY_COUNT=count export CASSPOOL_LOCK_RETRY_COUNT
Values
count The number of retries made to obtain a record lock.
Default
If not specified, this variable defaults to 20.
Allows the specification, in tenths of seconds, of the maximum time out period that will be used with any LSC style application, such as Drag and Drop, SourceConnect, or the Monitor. The maximum value that can be used is 2,147,483,647.
Syntax
SET CCITIMEOUT=value
CCITIMEOUT=value} export CCITIMEOUT
Default
The default is 1200 (2 minutes).
ExampleSET CCITIMEOUT=2400
Syntax
set CCITCP2=hostname
CCITCP2=hostname export CCITCP2
Parameters
hostname is the TCP hostname or dotted decimal IP address of the machine running the CCITCP2 daemon you wish to contact from that session.
Comments
The environment variable value will always take precedence over any value set using the Configuration Utility. To restore a process to using the value set by the Configuration Utility simply set the environment variable to an empty string, such as
set CCITCP2=
Alternatively, if this environment variable is set system-wide (by creating a system variable in the system environment settings, or by using a CONFIG.SYS file) then this value will always take precedence over any value set using the Configuration Utility.
Syntax
set CCITCP2_PORT=port
CCITCP2_PORT=port export CCITCP2_PORT
Syntax
set CCITCPS_server_name=port
CCITCPS_server_name=port export CCITCPS
Parameters
Note that this will only work if the server application process is started in the same session or process that has this environment variable set.
Example
set CCITCPS_server_name=MFPORT:3000
set CCITCPS_server_name=MFPORT:3000 export CCITCPS
If a client is known to be trying to connect to a server with Server Name server_name, and the TCP address and port (e.g. 3000) that the server is using is known, then the client can be made to connect directly to it by setting this environment variable.
Syntax
CCITCPT_server_name=MFNODE:server_hostname,MFPORT:port_number
Note that this can be used instead of setting the client Machine Name value. This is useful if the Machine Name value the client specifies cannot be altered by an application defined method.
Parameters
Example
CCITCPT_server1=MFNODE:server2,MFPORT:3000
Syntax
CCITRACE=filename [options]
| /F or -F | logs the details of CCI API calls to the trace file. The default is OFF, unless a filename any other trace option is specified, in which case it is always ON. |
| /P or -P | logs the details of protocol-level calls to the trace file. The default is OFF. If this flag is OFF, then only the details of the CCI user-level API will be traced. If this flag is ON, the level of function tracing may be greatly increased. |
| /D or -D | logs the contents of all buffers passed to and from the CCI functions. The default is OFF. Data tracing may not be allowed if the application has been coded to prohibit data tracing for security reasons. |
So to create a CCI trace file with the default name of ccitrc1.trc (with matching ccitrc1.idx file) which traces CCI API function flow, along with the underlying protocol function flow, but with no tracing of the user data passed to these calls, the value of the CCITRACE environment variable would be /P.
The CCI.INI file can also be used to control trace options, but any values specified by the CCITRACE environment variable will take precedence.
Specifies the directory path that Animator is to search for the session (.aif) file for the program being animated, if it is not found in the same directory as the information (.idy) file. Animator can update the session file to record information held between sessions. The .aif file contains details of breakpoints and monitors.
Syntax
COBAIF=pathname export COBAIF
Parameters
Comments
If the .aif file is not found in the directory specified, a search is made of the directories specified by the COBIDY environment variable. If the file is still not found, the current directory is searched.
If an .aif file does not exist, Animator creates it as follows:
Specifies the basename of the Animator session file (.aif ) for the program being animated. The .aif file contains details of breakpoints and monitors.
Syntax
COBAIFNAME=basename export COBAIFNAME
Parameters
Comments
You need to specify this environment variable if you are starting Animator using COBSW=+A and you want to save breakpoints for subsequent animation sessions. You can also specify it if you are starting Animator using the command anim; in this case the basename you specify overrides the application name as the basename of the .aif file.
Specifies additional directives to be used by Character Animator.
Syntax
COBANIMOPT=directive-list export COBANIMOPT
Parameters
Comments
When you invoke Character Animator, it first reads the directives you have specified in COBANIMOPT and then uses any directives you specify in the command line (which might override some of the directives you set in COBANIMOPT).
Example
COBANIMOPT="MIXEDLANGDEBUG MULTITHREAD" export COBANIMOPT
Identifies which COBOL program a waiting Character Animator process should attach to.
Syntax
COBANIMSRV=progid export COBANIMSRV
Parameters
Comments
This environment variable is particularly useful for starting cross-session debugging.
Example
In one console session:
export COBANIMSRV=myid
myid is now a unique identifier that you can use to match Character Animator to a program. Type the command to start Character Animator:
cobanimsrv
The Character Animator waits for a COBOL program to start that has a matching identifier. In another console session:
export COBANIMSRV=myid cobrun prog1.int
When prog1.int starts, the unique identifier myid matches that of Character Animator; therefore, Character Animator attaches to this process. In console session 1, the Character Animator main screen is displayed and the cursor placed on the first line of prog1.int.
Specifies non-standard behavior for HIGHLIGHT and LOWLIGHT clauses used with ACCEPT and DISPLAY statements. It provides compatibility with earlier COBOL products. You should avoid using it wherever possible as support might be discontinued at some future date.
Syntax
COBATTR=n export COBATTR
Parameters
n A value in the range 0 through 7. It can be one of the following values, or a cumulative value; for example, specifying a value of 6 would result in the behavior described for values 4 and 2.
Provides standard, default behavior.
When a COBOL program displays text subject to a HIGHLIGHT or LOWLIGHT clause, the run-time system uses respectively the bold or dim mode specified in the terminfo entry for the terminal. If the bold or dim mode is not specified, then the HIGHLIGHT or LOWLIGHT clause respectively has no effect.
When a COBOL program displays text subject to a HIGHLIGHT clause, the run-time system uses the bold mode. The run-time system uses the default mode for normal text. Specifying dim mode in the terminfo entry for the terminal has no affect. The LOWLIGHT clause has no effect.
High and low intensity space characters are not assumed to be the same as normal mode space characters.
As for 1 and 2 above
Provides compatibility with default behavior of products before COBOL version 3.2.
When a COBOL program displays text subject to a HIGHLIGHT clause, the effect depends on whether the dim mode is specified in the terminfo entry for the terminal. If dim mode is specified, then the run-time system uses the default mode for highlighted text and the dim mode for normal text. If the dim mode is not specified, then the run-time system uses the bold mode for highlighted text and default mode for normal text. The LOWLIGHT clause has no effect, giving the same appearance as normal text.
Example
COBATTR=1 export COBATTR
Specifies a run-time configuration file that tailors the run-time configurable options in some way.
Syntax
SET COBCONFIG=pathname
COBCONFIG=pathname export COBCONFIG
Parameters
Comments
If $COBCONFIG is not set then the file $COBDIR/etc/cobconfig is searched for instead.
Example
COBCONFIG=/home/mydir/cobconfig export COBCONFIG
SET COBCONFIG=/home/mydir/cobconfig
Values
Specifies the directory or directories that the Compiler and Animator should search for copyfiles.
Syntax
SET COBCPY=pathname[:pathname]...
COBCPY=pathname[:pathname]... export COBCPY
Parameters
A directory that the Compiler and Animator are to search when looking for copyfiles. When more than one pathname is present, a null pathname represents the current working directory.
Example
SET COBCPY=/home/group/sharedcopy::mydir/mycpy
COBCPY=/home/group/sharedcopy::mydir/mycpy export COBCPY
causes the Compiler to search for a copyfile in /home/group/sharedcopy, then in the current directory and finally in ./mydir/mycpy until either the copyfile is found or it can be considered not found.
Specifies the directory or directories that the run-time system is to search for data files. Provides you with the facility to map data files globally, thus enabling you to put working data files in a directory whose name is not known until run time.
Syntax
COBDATA=pathname[:pathname]... export COBDATA
COBDATA=pathname[:pathname]...
Comments
COBDATA affects the compiler and other utilities. During compilation, for example, program source is regarded as a data file by the compiler. If you intend to use any COBOL development system utilities, we recommend that the COBDATA value starts with a colon (:).
COBDATA is considered set if there is an environment variable of this name in your environment space, and its value is non-empty.
The full mapping order for files is:
For multiple directory paths specified either in the COBDATA environment variable or a dd_ environment variable, the system searches the first directory specified followed by a slash (/) as a prefix to the user name.
If the filename is not found, or is not readable, the search continues with the next directory until the final directory has been searched. If no file is found, the first directory is used if a file is to be created.
Any dd_ and COBDATA mappings are ignored for any filename that starts with a hyphen () or a slash (/). In addition, it is illegal to have a hyphen in an environment variable name.
When using this facility, you should not use a filename that starts with "COB... "(these are reserved for the COBOL system).
You can use the COBDATA environment variable for files open in any mode (including OUTPUT) and for fixed or variable length files. If you are using indexed files, both the data and index files must be in the same directory.
The COBDATA environment variable affects file deletes, using the rules given here, as well as file opens.
If you intend to use COBOL development system programs, we recommend that you first unset COBDATA, as many of these programs open data files and are thus affected by the value of COBDATA. If you have to set COBDATA, you should include the paths :$COBDIR/dynload/helptbox.lbr and :$COBDIR/dynload/check.lbr at the beginning of the COBDATA value. If you want to see the Animator Help pages, also include COBDIR/dynload/advanim.lbr.
Example
COBDATA=:demo:/home/data:progs export COBDATA
SET COBDATA=:demo:/home/data:progs
causes COBDATA to be set to instruct the runtime system to search for data files in the current directory, then in the directory ./demo, then in the directory /home/data and finally in ./progs.
Specifies the directory where the required Micro Focus COBOL system is installed. Many of the COBOL system components and utilities require and use this information. If the COBDIR environment variable is not set then the COBOL system acts as if it had been set to the default COBOL system directory. This default directory is /opt/microfocus/VisualCOBOL on UNIX systems.
SET COBDIR=pathname
COBDIR=pathname export COBDIR
Parameters
Comments
The Micro Focus COBOL system is normally installed in the default COBOL system directory and so does not require COBDIR to be set. COBDIR only needs to be set when your COBOL system has been installed in a different directory such as when more than one version of the COBOL system is available at the same time.
Example
SET COBDIR=/home/products/cobse20
COBDIR=/home/products/cobse20 export COBDIR
This causes the Cob utility to search the directory /home/products/cobse20 for the Micro Focus COBOL system software.
Specifies the directory that Animator is to search for the information (.idy) file for the program being animated if it is not found in the same directory as the intermediate code (.int) file. Animator can update the information file to record information held between sessions.
Syntax
COBIDY=pathname export COBIDY
Values
Enables just-in-time debugging.
The Eclipse workspace to open when just-in-time debugging starts.
Specifies which Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to load.
SET COBJVM=platform_nnn
COBJVM=platform_nnn export COBJVM
Parameters
platform_nnn where
Comments
You might need to set COBJVM if you are developing distributed applications with both COBOL and Java components.
Example
SET COBJVM=ibm_122
COBJVM=ibm_122 export COBJVM
Specifies the maximum elapsed time, in tenths of a second, for the connected terminal to transmit any valid escape sequence to the runtime system.
When a terminal key is depressed, the terminal might send in response a single character or a group of characters to the runtime system. Typically, such a group of characters starts with an escape character and the group of characters is known as an escape sequence. A terminal might send an escape sequence for one depression of a function key. It might also send the same sequence of characters for a depression of the Escape key followed by the depression of one or more alphabetic or numeric data keys. The only difference apparent to the runtime system is the interval between the arrival of each character; the user cannot type as fast as the escape sequence is generated by the terminal.
If a terminal is connected over a network that sends the characters to the runtime system in discrete packets, then the network can alter the intervals between each character arriving at the runtime system. COBKEYTIMEOUT is available to help compensate for typical network delays so the runtime system identifies escape sequences correctly.
Syntax
SET COBKEYTIMEOUT=n
COBKEYTIMEOUT=n export COBKEYTIMEOUT
Parameters
n A number in the range 1 through 126 that represents the maximum elapsed time required for a terminal to transmit any valid escape sequence to the runtime system over the line or network connection. On encountering a lone Escape character, the runtime system waits n tenths of a second before assuming that the character does not introduce an escape sequence. The runtime system calculates an appropriate default value for n from the baud rate of the terminal.
Example 1:
COBLPFORM 1:3:5:7:9:11:13:15:17:19:21:23
In this example C01 equals 1, C02 equals 3, and so on.
Example 2:
COBLPFORM :3::5: :9
In this example, C01 equals 3, C02 equals 5, C03 equals 1, and C04 equals 9. You can specify only a single line number for each channel.
In example 2 above, channels C05 - C12 are undefined. If a print statement specifies channel C05 - C12, the line is printed at line 1. In addition, in the example shown, C03 equals 1 because its value is a space and therefore undefined.
Any WRITE BEFORE/AFTER PAGE statements cause positioning to be at line 1. Each line advance increases the line number by one. A request to skip to a line number less than or equal to the current line causes a new page to begin. The appropriate number of line feeds are then generated.
Specifies the size of the main stack.
Syntax
SET COBMAINSTACK=n
COBMAINSTACK=n export COBMAINSTACK
Parameters
n A number in the range 1 through nnn that represents the size of the main stack.
Comments
You might need to set COBMAINSTACK in any of the following circumstances:
If you are using the multi-threaded run-time system
If you have IF STATEMENTS with a very large number of ELSE clauses
The system starts in 32-bit mode
The system starts in 64-bit mode
Syntax
COBOPT="[set environment-variable=value] [options] ... [cobextn: .ext [.ext] ... ]" export COBOPT
or
COBOPT=[pathname/]filename export COBOPT
If a line does not begin with one of the identifiers set or cobextn: then it is taken as an options line.
Comments
COBOPT can either contain options that supplement or override the system default options defined in $COBDIR/etc/cobopt, or it can specify the path of a file that contains such options. The options can extend over more than one line and each line must have the same format as described for the file $COBDIR/etc/cobopt in the chapter COBOL System Interface (cob).
Examples
COBOPT="CANS85 set COBCPY=$COBDIR/srclib/:$HOME/mylib:" export COBOPT
This enables ANSI 85 standard COBOL syntax and sets COBCPY to the specified list of paths.
COBOPT=temp/options
Specifies that cob options are contained in the file options in the directory temp.
Specifies the directory or directories that the runtime system is to search for dynamically loadable .int and .gnt files, or callable shared objects.
Syntax
SET COBPATH=pathname[:pathname]...
COBPATH=pathname[:pathname]... export COBPATH
Parameters
pathname A list of search directories, each item separated by a semicolon (Windows) or colon (UNIX), that the runtime system is to search for a dynamically loadable program (.int, .gnt or callable shared object) file. When more than one pathname is specified, a null pathname represents the current working directory.
Example
SET COBPATH=u:/home/mydir/srclib:otherlib
COBPATH=u:/home/mydir/srclib:otherlib export COBPATH
Specifies the name of a print spooler that is to receive, via its standard input stream (stdin), output from any DISPLAY UPON PRINTER statement.
Syntax
SET COBPRINTER=command-line
COBPRINTER=command-line export COBPRINTER
Parameters
Comments
Each DISPLAY UPON PRINTER statement executed by your COBOL program causes a new invocation of command-line. Each invocation receives the data referenced in the DISPLAY statement, and is followed by a system end-of-file condition.
Example
SET COBPRINTER="myspooler -a $TMPDIR\spoolfile"
COBPRINTER="myspooler -a $TMPDIR/spoolfile" export COBPRINTER
Specifies the UNIX Session Recorder functions to perform.
Syntax
COBSES={option[filename]}...
export COBSES
option can be one or more of the following:
These flags are all case sensitive. Also, you cannot combine the -r flag with either -f or -p.
Syntax
SET COBSW=[+/-}s...
COBSW=[+/-}s... export COBSW
A list of the runtime switches to set or unset.
Example
SET COBSW=+0+D
COBSW=+0+D export COBSW
This enables runtime switch 0 and the ANSI COBOL debug switch.
COBTERMINFO=pathname[:pathname]... export COBTERMINFO
Parameters
pathname A list of search directories, each item separated by a colon, that identify a terminfo database containing terminal settings tailored for COBOL applications. A null pathname represents the current working directory.
Comments
The COBOL system takes the value of the standard UNIX environment variable TERM as the name of the terminal in use. It uses this to search for the appropriate terminal information in a terminfo database. The runtime system first searches the databases identified in COBTERMINFO and then, if the terminal information is not found it searches the database identified in the standard UNIX environment variable TERMINFO.
If COBTERMINFO is not set, the runtime system acts as if it had been set to $COBDIR/terminfo.
Micro Focus recommend that the first directory listed in COBTERMINFO is $COBDIR/terminfo so that the terminfo database supplied with this COBOL system is found first. For commonly used terminals this terminfo contains settings that are fuller and more appropriate to COBOL than those normally available in the UNIX system terminfo database. When debugging using Animator, COBTERMINFO must be set to $COBDIR/terminfo.
COBTERMINFO can also be used to identify a terminfo database that is portable between UNIX systems. Such a database conforms to the standard UNIX database format but does not include any supplementary, UNIX implementation-dependent terminal information. Many UNIX system terminfo databases are not portable because they include such supplementary information. The COBOL system ignores any such nonportable details.
Example
COBTERMINFO=$COBDIR/terminfo:/home/mydir/terms export COBTERMINFO
Specifies the column width of the terminal screen or window, overriding the specified terminal default.
Syntax
COLUMNS=n export COLUMNS
Parameters
n The width of the terminal screen or window, in column positions.
Comments
The default, when COLUMNS is unset or null, is to use the cols value defined in the specified terminal's terminfo entry, or the current width of the terminal window if you are using an X terminal. The terminal type is specified using the standard UNIX environment variable, TERM.
On non-windowing environments, where the terminal screen area cannot be resized, the COLUMNS values does not need to be set. Terminals that can switch into a wide mode (usually from 80 through 132 columns) have a terminal name ending in "w" and these are automatically supported, without the need to set COLUMNS.
In windowing environments, where the size of windows can be changed, the initial size of the window is used in preference to the cols value in terminfo. When the window is resized, the new size is reread. If the new size is greater than the initial size then the extra columns might not be used.
If you want to use the full width of the window you might need to set COLUMNS to the current column width of the window on some platforms.
Using COLUMNS values that do not correspond to the actual width of the window produces unexpected results.
Example
COLUMNS=100 export COLUMNS
Values
Syntax
SET ENTRYNAMEMAP={filename|directory}; ...
ENTRYNAMEMAP={filename|directory}; ...
export ENTRYNAMEMAP
Parameters
filename An entry map file.
directory A directory containing an entry name map file. The name of the entry name map file must be mfentmap.dat.
Comments
You must set the entry_name_mapper tunable to enable entry point mapper support.
If ENTRYNAMEMAP is not set, the runtime system searches for an entry name map file called mfentmap.dat in each folder specified by the COBDIR environment variable.
If the runtime system finds more than one entry name map file and same entry point is defined differently in different files, precedence is given to the definition in the entry name map file that was found first. To change the order in which the runtime system finds entry name map files you need to change the order in which the files appear in the COBDIR or ENTRYNAMEMAP environment variable paths.
UNIX: ES_ABORT_PLTPI_ERROR=xx
Windows: ES_ABORT_PLTPI_ERROR=xx
Values for xx can be:
Comments
By default, when an error occurs during PLTPI processing, mainframe CICS enterprise servers display a prompt that enables the user to cancel the startup or ignore the error. Set ES_ABORT_PLTPI_ERROR to bypass the prompt and automatically abort the initialization as dictated by the value provided.
Syntax
SET ES_ACBLIB={pathname

Values for both x and y are:
Default
Legacy behavior.
Comments
When this environment variable is set, Enterprise Server will only make one attempt to identify a user presenting the user ID and password as is (M), folded to uppercase (U) or folded to lower case (L). If this environment variable is not set, the legacy Enterprise Server behavior will be used.
For the legacy behavior for CICS, the User ID and the password are used as supplied possibly filtered by the uppercase translation configuration of the sign-on transaction.
For ESMAC and IMS, the legacy behavior is that, first, the user ID and password are used as supplied. If the authentication fails, the user ID is folded to uppercase and used again. If this fails as well, both the user ID and the password are folded to uppercase and then used.
Example
ES_ESM_IDPW_CASE=UM - a single authentication is tried with the user ID folded to uppercase, and the password used as-is.

Syntax
LANG=language[_territory[.codepage]] export LANG
Example
LANG=fr_FR export LANG
Specifies the directory or directories for the UNIX system, Cob and the run-time system to search for shared libraries and callable shared objects. It must be set to include $COBDIR/lib on all platforms, except AIX (which uses LIBPATH). It should also include any directories that contain callable shared objects used by your application.
Syntax
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=pathname[:pathname]... export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
pathname A path or a list of paths, each separated by a colon (:).
Comments
The list of directories must include $COBDIR/lib. The COBDIR environment variable is described earlier.
This environment variable is a system environment variable; see your UNIX documentation for more information.
Example
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$COBDIR/lib:/home/mydir/myapp:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Syntax
LIBPATH=pathname[:pathname]... export LIBPATH
Parameters
pathname A directory to search for shared libraries.
Example
LIBPATH=$COBDIR/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
Syntax
LINES=n export LINES
Parameters
n The depth of the terminal screen or window, in lines.
Comments
The default, when LINES is unset or null, is to use the lines value as defined in the specified terminal's terminfo entry, or the current depth of the terminal window if you are using X windows. The terminal type is specified via the standard UNIX environment variable, TERM.
On non-windowing environments, where the terminal screen area cannot be resized, the LINES values does not need to be set.
In windowing environments, where the size of windows can be changed, the initial size of the window is used in preference to the lines value in terminfo. When the window is resized, the new size is reread. If the new size is greater than the initial size then the extra lines might not be used.
If you want to use the full depth of the window you might need to set LINES to the current depth of the window on some platforms.
Using LINES values that do not correspond to the actual depth of the window produces unexpected results.
Example
LINES=50 export LINES
Syntax
SET MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT=fpstatus
MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT=fpstatus export MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT
Parameters
fpstatus Which format to use for floating point data items. This must be one of:
Setting MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT to anything other than true has the same effect as setting it to false.
The setting of this environment variable can be overridden by the NATIVE-FLOATING-POINT directive.
MF_MVSJOB=<lower value>{-|+}<upper value>Where:
set MF_MVSJOB=0000010+0000100This resets the values to start with job number 10 and run through to job number 100. When the upper limit has been reached you receive a message:
All job numbers in the range 0000010:0000100 are in useAt this point you need to remove some jobs from the spool - you can use the spool housekeeping functions to do this.
This environment variable can be used to enable a 7-digit Job number limit. If the <upper value> mentioned is greater than 99999, then 6+ digit job number support is enabled. The maximum value that can be set is 9999999.
If a value set using this variable is not valid, the default values of <0001000>{-|+}<0099999> are set.
Syntax

A code between 2000 and 9999 (except 9122) corresponds to a user-defined translation table. User-defined tables are created using the Codecomp utility.
If you are not using UK or US language settings, you must also set the codepage in your PC environment settings:
Syntax
SET MFCSCFG=filename
MFCSCFG=filename export MFCSCFG
Parameters
filename The name of the configuration file.
Example
SET MFCSCFG=/home/mydir/mfclisrv.cfg
MFCSCFG=/home/mydir/mfclisrv.cfg export MFCSCFG
Comments
The value of MFCSCFG is overridden by any value defined in the command line. If neither of the above yields a filename, the default filename mfclisrv.cfg is assumed, and is searched for in the current directory. If that in turn is not found, the default settings for the configuration entries are used.
Set this variable to Y to prevent steps after a restart step that have conditions that refer to any steps prior to the restart from running.
Syntax
SET MFJSABCODE=code
MFJSABCODE=code export MFJSABCODE
Parameters
code A decimal value between 1 and 99 representing the abend code to be issued.
Any specified value outside of the range 1 to 99 will result in an abend code of S00D being issued.
Default
By default, this environment variable is not set. If so, and if MFJSERET=ABEND is in effect, an abend S00D (decimal code 16) is issued when a Sort or Merge operation fails with an unrecoverable error.
Example
MFJSABCODE=77
This example results in abend code S04D being issued.
Syntax
SET MFJSERET=ABEND
MFJSERET=ABEND export MFJSERET
Parameters
ABEND The operation will abend and its program will continue instead of terminating with an unrecoverable error (return code 16)
Default
By default, this environment variable is not set.
Syntax
SET MFJSSTRICTSORT=ON|OFF
MFJSSTRICTSORT=ON|OFF export MFJSSTRICTSORT
Default
The default is OFF.
Example
MFJSSTRICTSORT=ON
For a COBOL sort not running under mainframe emulation, setting the environment variable MFJSTATS to ON creates a report containing statistics for the SORT that is displayed to SYSOUT. If a report file already exists for a previous SORT, the new statistics are appended to the end of the previous one.
If you are performing a COBOL sort using mainframe emulation, you can create a statistics report by modifying the JCL statement.
Syntax
SET MFJSTATS=switch
MFJSTATS=switch export MFJSTATS
Parameters
switch Switches report creation ON or OFF. The default is OFF.
Use this environment variable for Y2K compatibility, when two-digit year values are used.
Syntax
SET MFJSWINDOW=value
MFJSWINDOW=value export MFJSWINDOW
Values
To set a sliding century window, set a value between 0 and 100. For example, a value of 80 would set a century window of 1931-2030 in 2011, 1932-2031 in 2012, and so on.
To set a fixed century window, set a value between 1000 and 3000. For example, a value of 1973 would set a century window of 1973-2072.
Default
The default is a sliding value of 80 when emulating DFSORT, and a default value of 0 when emulating SYNCSORT. A value of 0 equates to a century window, starting in the current year.
Comment
You can use this environment variable instead of the Y2PAST sort option.
Example
MFJSWINDOW=25
Specifies a configuration file for Language Environment (LE) runtime options.
Syntax
SET MFLECONFIG=filename
MFLECONFIG=filename export MFLECONFIG
Parameters
filename The file containing the LE runtime options you want to use.
Syntax
SET MFLOGDIR=dirname
MFLOGDIR=dirname export MFLOGDIR
Parameters
dirname The name of the directory for log files.
Example
SET MFLOGDIR=/home/mydir/logs
MFLOGDIR=/home/mydir/logs export MFLOGDIR
Specifies the record length for the REXX EXECIO command when reading or writing a line sequential file that has been cataloged with a record length of zero.
Specifies the directories to be searched by all UNIX programs, including the runtime system, when finding executables to be run.
Syntax
PATH=pathname[:pathname]... export PATH
Parameters
pathname A directory to search for executables.
Example
PATH=$COBDIR/bin:$PATH export PATH
Syntax
SET SORTCOMPRESS=5
SORTCOMPRESS=5 export SORTCOMPRESS
Parameters
5 This is the only value that you can supply. It allows for run-length encoding of sort records, resulting in much better performance when records contain multiple repeated characters.
Comments
This variable is recommended if the sort records contain many single repeated characters, for example, multiple spaces, as it can be very effective in improving memory usage and therefore sort performance.
Example
SET SORTCOMPRESS=5
SORTCOMPRESS=5 export SORTCOMPRESS
Syntax
SET SORTSCHEME=1
SORTSCHEME=1 export SORTSCHEME
Syntax
SET SORTSPACE=n[K|k|M|m|G|g]
SORTSPACE=n[K|k|M|m|G|g] export SORTSPACE
Parameters
n[K|k|M|m|G|g The amount of memory to be allocated to internal workspace for SORT operations. K or k indicates kilobytes, M or m indicates megabytes and G or g indicates gigabytes. No letter indicates bytes. Defaults to 1 megabyte.
Comments
A larger value for SORTSPACE will generally result in a faster sort. However, if you specify a value that exceeds the capacity of main memory in your computer, such that the operating system has to page memory in and out, performance will be degraded.
Example
SET SORTSPACE=1024K
SORTSPACE=1024K export SORTSPACE
Syntax
SET SORTTEMPSPACE=n[K|k|M|m|G|g]
SORTTEMPSPACE=n[K|k|M|m|G|g] export SORTTEMPSPACE
Parameters
n[K|k|M|m|G|g] The amount of memory to be allocated to temporary workspace for SORT operations. K or k indicates kilobytes, M or m indicates megabytes and G or g indicates gigabytes. No letter indicates bytes. 32 megabytes is the lowest amount of memory that can be allocated.
Comments
The memory allocation strategy used by SORT can be adjusted through use of SORTTEMPSPACE, which generally improves performance in systems suffering from memory fragmentation.
Example
SET SORTTEMPSPACE=250MB
SORTTEMPSPACE=250MB export SORTTEMPSPACE
Syntax
SET SORTTYPE=2
SORTTYPE=2 export SORTTYPE
Syntax
TERM=name export TERM
Parameters
name The name of the terminal in the terminfo database.
Example
TERM=at386 export TERM
Specifies the directory to be searched by all UNIX programs, including the runtime system, for the UNIX system terminfo database.
Syntax
TERMINFO=pathname export TERMINFO
Parameters
pathname The name of a directory that contains the UNIX system terminfo database.
Comments
The UNIX system terminfo database is used by all UNIX applications that need to use a terminal. However, COBOL applications tend to make much fuller and sophisticated use of the terminal and require a fuller terminfo description than is required by typical UNIX applications such as vi. Some terminal capabilities, such as those set during the initialization of the terminal to control the use of function keys, commonly conflict with the needs of typical COBOL applications. In such cases, the terminal information required by COBOL can be stored in a separate terminfo database and referenced using COBTERMINFO.
Syntax
TMPDIR=pathname export TMPDIR
Parameters
pathname The directory used by UNIX applications for any temporary work files. Temporary work files can be created by COBOL utilities such as Cob or by the runtime system when it executes statements such as SORT. If you do not specify a directory, the system default directory is used.
Comments
You might need to use this environment variable if the runtime system needs to page data to disk when creating heaps or sorting.
Syntax:
SET XFHLOG=DEFAULT
Parameters:
DEFAULT - generates the log file in the current directory.
Comments:
If the XFHLOG variable is not set, the log file is created in C:\ProgramData\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\[version-number] for .NET applications only. This variable has no effect for native applications; the log file is created in the current directory regardless.
The effect of this variable can be overridden by the LOGFILENAME configuration option.
