Important: When compiling from within
Visual Studio, set these directives in the
Additional Directives field on your project's
COBOL properties tab.
CHECKCALLPARAMS Directive automatically set by DIALECT=MAINFRAME. It evaluates the parameters on a stored procedure call to determine if
they are input or output.
DATE Specifies the explicit date format to use when date values are returned from PostgreSQL date columns in character output
host variables.
DETECTDATE Allows datetime values for PIC X character input host variables in a mainframe DB2 application to be in different formats
than those supported by PostgreSQL.
DIALECT Enables SQL dialect compatibility features for HCOPG in the OpenESQL preprocessor, turning on automatic mapping of functions,
special registers, data types, and all other automatic HCOPG conversions, and enabling the use of DIALECT statement prefixes.
Converts DB2 SQL statements that are not compatible with PostgreSQL into equivalent pgSQL statements in most cases.
QUALIFIER Qualifies unqualified table and view names.
STRICTPARSE Provides enhanced diagnostics for SQL statements not recognized by the HCOPG DB2 parser.
TIME Specifies an explicit time format to use when time values are returned from PostgreSQL time columns in PIC X character output
host variables.
