Some sort of standard You never heard of Chris Tandy, a Toronto-based programmer for IBM since 1985, but his work in standardizing computer programming languages is vital to everything you do as a software developer.
Tandy chairs the American INCITS PL22 group and is an officer in the global ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22 committee, which are the primary standards bodies responsible not only for pivotal languages such as COBOL, C, and C++, but also for historic ones like Ada, APL (famously named as "A Programming Language"), and Fortran. They also deal in esoterica--try your hand at coding in PL/1 or REXX. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Charles Mills Sent: Wednesday, July 8, 2020 3:04 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: COBOL 6.3 compiler options question Not I.

I'm not seeing it in the COBOL reference or any COBOL manual for that matter, yet it shows up on the option list when we compile a program: NOFLAGSTD HGPR(PRESERVE) NOINITCHECK NOINITIAL INLINE INTDATE(ANSI) NOJTC LANGUAGE(EN) LINECOUNT(60) NOLIST LP(32) MAP(HEX) MAXPCF(100000) NOMDECK NONAME Thanks, Rex The information contained in this message is confidential, protected from disclosure and may be legally privileged.
