IOCONV

Selects between a straight group move and conversion of elementary record descriptions (ANSI behavior) when processing READ ... INTO and WRITE ... FROM statements.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.----.--IOCONV--------------------><
   +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None

Properties:

Default: IOCONV
Phase: Syntax check
$SET: Any

Comments:

NOIOCONV causes a straight group move for READ ... INTO and WRITE ... FROM operations. This is for backward compatibility.

IOCONV causes conversion of elementary record descriptions when required. This is normal ANSI behavior, and the default.
