Setting Workspace Verification Options: Legacy Dialects Tab

Use the Verification > Legacy Dialects tab of the Workspace Options window to identify the dialect of the source files in your application.

Choose Options > Workspace Options. The Workspace Options window opens. Click the Verification tab, then the Legacy Dialects tab.
In the Source Type pane, select the source file type whose dialect you want to specify, then select the dialect in the dialect pane.

Set verification options for the dialect. The table below shows the available options.

Option	Dialect	Description
Binary Storage Mode	ACUCOBOL-GT®, Micro Focus COBOL	Specifies the binary storage mode: Word (2, 4, or 8 bytes) or Byte (1 to 8 bytes).
Compiler Directives	All COBOL	Specifies directives to be used during compilation. To add a directive, right-click in the Compiler Directives field and select Add from the context menu. The format is: `<directive>`="`<value>`". Using the context menu you can also delete, edit, select, unselect, move up/down the directives. Note: Project-level compiler directives override workspace-level directives.
COPY REPLACING Substitutes Partial Words	All COBOL	Specifies that the application was compiled with partial-word substitution enabled for COPY REPLACE operations.
COPY statements as in COBOL-68	All COBOL	Specifies that the application was compiled with the OLDCOPY option set.
Currency Sign	All COBOL	Specifies the national language currency symbol.
Data File Assignment	Micro Focus COBOL	Specifies the setting of the compiler ASSIGN option: Dynamic or External.
Enable MF comments	Micro Focus COBOL	Specifies that the application contains comments in the first position.
Graphical System	ACUCOBOL-GT®	Specifies that the application was executed on a graphical rather than character-based system.
In Margins	All	Specifies the current margins for source files.
PERFORM behavior	ACUCOBOL-GT®, Micro Focus COBOL	Specifies the setting of the compiler PERFORM-type option: Stack, to allow recursive PERFORMS, or All exits active, to disallow them.
Preserve dialect for verified objects	All COBOL	Specifies that the parser reverify COBOL files with the same dialect it used when the files were verified first.
RM/COBOL compatibility	ACUCOBOL-GT®	Specifies that the parser ensure proper memory allocation for applications written for Liant RM/COBOL. Emulates behavior of -Ds compatibility option.
Source Format	ACUCOBOL-GT®	Specifies the ACUCOBOL-GT® source format: ANSI, Long or Terminal.
SQL Dialect	All SQL	Specifies the SQL dialect. The options are: Standard SQL, DB2 for AS/400, Unisys RDMS. For ANSI SQL-92 and DB2 for OS/390 use Standard SQL.
Support Hogan Framework	All COBOL	Specifies that the parser create relationships for Hogan COBOL and Hogan batch applications. Specify the full path of the folder for Hogan Framework configuration files in the Hogan Files Location field. For more information, see "Hogan Framework Support."
Treat COMP-1/COMP-2 as FLOAT/DOUBLE	ACUCOBOL-GT®	Specifies that the parser treat picture data types with COMP-1 or COMP-2 attributes as FLOAT or DOUBLE, respectively.
