Using the Z Data Tools COBOL compiler
Z Data Tools uses its internal COBOL compiler if one of these conditions applies:
- A licensed, supported COBOL compiler is not available.
- An
//HFMCOB DD DUMMY
has been defined (as described below). - A user has a minimum of Read access to the SAF FACILITY class profile FILEM.COBOL.INTERNAL, as described in Controlling the use of the COBOL compiler.
If Z Data Tools is to use its internal COBOL compiler, review the following sections for customization tasks you might need to perform. Not all the functions available using a supported COBOL compiler are available using the Z Data Tools compiler, and for functions that are available, the customization might differ.
