entry_point_mapper_alias_exists_error

Specifies whether the Entry Point Mapping facility causes a run-time system error COBRT198 ("Load failure") when a program with the same name as an alias definition is found on disk, or whether the aliasing occurs without loading the program with the same name from disk.

Restriction: These tunables are supported for native COBOL only.

Syntax:

>>-----set entry_point_mapper_alias_exists_error=---.-TRUE-.-------------><
                                                    +-FALSE+

Parameters:

TRUE	Run-time system error COBRT198 (Windows) or 198 (UNIX) occurs when a program with the same name as an alias definition occurs on disk.
FALSE	Aliasing occurs without loading the program with the same name from disk.

Properties:

Default:	TRUE
IDE equivalent:	None

Comments:

This tunable is only relevant if the entry_point_mapper_search_order tunable is set to 1; that is, pre-disk searching is enabled.
