Hi jmp2i,
I'm having trouble understanding what you're looking for.
You say: | Quote: |
into a load module
|
Do you mean "from a load module"?
You say: | Quote: |
where a dsect describing it
|
I don't know what that means.
To get the discussion started, let me take a guess and you can let me know if this is what you're looking for.
The compiler options selected for a COBOL pgm are contained within its first 100 bytes (approx). They are represented by a series of bits, each denoting a selected option. Among other data contained therein are the compiler name and version.
I'm not sure but I'd guess that the sequence and meaning of the option bit can change from compiler to compiler and from version to version. Their values can usually be found in the associated Pgmr's Guide. With COBOLII they were in the Debugging Guide.
You don't say how you want to use this info. Do you want to access and display this info from a utility for one pgm at a time or do it for a list of pgms? Do you want to look at the bits through ISPF edit for an individual module? Do you want to run this process in a production environment?
Each of these choices present different problems and might dictate the choice of an approach.
Regards, Jack. |
