Using COBOL compiler options with Z Data Tools

Z Data Tools overrides certain COBOL compiler options when it invokes the COBOL compiler. Therefore these options cannot be marked as 'fixed' in the COBOL default options module IGYCDOPT. These options are: 
ADATA         LIB
ADEXIT        LINECOUNT
ARITH         MSGEXIT
COMPILE       OBJECT
DBCS          OPTIMIZE
DECK          PRTEXIT
FLAG          SQL
INEXIT        STGOPT

If you have any of these options fixed at your site, you will need to build a Z Data Tools-specific COBOL options module that does not have these options fixed, and make this module available to the COBOL compiler invoked by Z Data Tools. For information on changing the COBOL default options and building an options module for a specific purpose, see the appropriate COBOL Customization book.

If you build a Z Data Tools-specific COBOL options module, but do not want to make it generally available other than to Z Data Tools, make a copy of your COBOL compiler library containing this options module. You can then make this copy of the COBOL compiler library available to Z Data Tools only, by means of the HFMCOB DD statement, allocated dynamically, in your TSO logon procedure, or in a batch job.
