The following Compiler directives are new in this release:
- EOF-1A
- Treats a 0x1a character in the source file as the end of file.
- JVMDECIMAL
- Determines the type in which certain items are exposed. This directive affects COBOL data items of type 'decimal' and non-integral numeric items exposed as a result of either ILSMARTLINKAGE usage or the PROPERTY keyword.
- NLS-CURRENCY-LENGTH
- Specifies the number of bytes to allocate for the currency symbol in a PIC field.
- NULL-ESCAPE
- Treats a 0x00 character in the source file as an escape character for other non-printable characters in the source code.
The following Compiler directives contain new parameters in this release:
- DBSPACE
- The new parameter 'MIXED' extends the DBSPACE directive to be able to evaluate data items in programs that contain a mix of single-byte and double-byte strings.
