/ALIGNMENT=PADDING, -align padding
The HP OpenVMS Calling Standard requires that data fields be aligned on specific
addresses (shown in those standards). The same standards specify that
the lengths of all data records and group data items must be multiples
of their alignments.
If /ALIGNMENT=PADDING or
-align padding
is present on the compile command line, COBOL group data-items
will be aligned on their natural boundaries and those group items will
be padded out to multiples of their alignments. Refer to the
HP COBOL Reference Manual for detailed information about elementary data item
alignment with Alpha alignment and padding in effect.
B.3.3 Qualifiers Only on HP COBOL for OpenVMS VAX
Table B-4 lists the command-line qualifiers and qualifier-option
combinations that are specific to HP COBOL on VAX. Except as noted,
these qualifiers have no equivalents on Alpha or I64 systems.

Comments |
|
/DESIGN
|
Controls whether the compiler processes the input file as a detailed
design.
|
|
/INSTRUCTION_SET[=option]
|
Improves run-time performance on single-chip VAX processors,
using different portions of the VAX instruction set.
|
|
/STANDARD=OPENVMS_AXP
|
Produces informational messages on language features that are not
supported by the HP COBOL compiler on Alpha or I64. (See the
section on /STANDARD=OPENVMS_AXP in this appendix, and refer to the
HP COBOL for OpenVMS VAX release notes.)
|
|
/STANDARD=PDP11
|
Produces informational messages on language features that are not
supported by the COBOL-81 compiler.
|
|
/WARNINGS=STANDARD
|
Produces informational messages on language features that are HP
extensions. The HP COBOL equivalent on Alpha and I64 is the
/STANDARD=SYNTAX qualifier or the
-std syntax
flag.
|
/STANDARD=V3, -std v3
HP COBOL on Alpha and I64 does not support a number of features
supported by the implementation of the /STANDARD=V3 qualifier on VAX,
as follows:
- When subscripts are evaluated in STRING, UNSTRING, and INSPECT
(Format 3) statements and the REMAINDER phrase of the DIVIDE statement
- When reference modification is evaluated in STRING, UNSTRING, and
INSPECT (Format 3) statements
-
When an out-of-range expression specifying the starting position or
length of reference modification is detected; HP COBOL on Alpha
and I64 detects the out-of-range expression at run time (if
/CHECK=BOUNDS is used), whereas HP COBOL on VAX in some cases detects
it at compile time
- When the variable associated with the VARYING phrase is augmented
in PERFORM... VARYING... AFTER statements (Format 4)
- How PIC P digits are interpreted in some moves
- When the size of variable-length tables (OCCURS DEPENDING ON) is
determined in the MOVE statement
The /WARNINGS=ALL qualifier or the
-warn all
flag can help you determine the effects of /STANDARD=V3 and
-std v3
; in particular, the HP COBOL compiler on Alpha and I64 will
generate the following informational messages if /STANDARD=V3 or
-std v3
has been specified:
- For items that may be affected by evaluation order in the INSPECT,
STRING, UNSTRING, and DIVIDE statements:
