Format of a Configuration File for Native COBOL

The configuration file conforms to this format:

The format of each tunable is:

set configurable_name=value

The format for each UNIX environment variable is:

setenv configurable_name value
where:
configurable_name
The name of the run-time tunable or UNIX environment variable .
value
The value to be assigned to the run-time tunable or UNIX environment variable.

For a UNIX run-time tunable, value is validated according to the type and values allowed for that tunable, and the value of cobconfig_error_report.

Where value is numeric, a leading zero indicates that the value should be treated as octal (that is, base 8). For example, 07 (octal) is 7 (decimal), while 010 (octal) is 8 (decimal); however, 08 (octal) and 09 (octal) are invalid octal values. Hexadecimal values can also be set by using numeric values that begin with with 0x.
