SHOW-DIR

Makes the Compiler show the contents of directives files in the source listing.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.----.--SHOW-DIR------------------><
   +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None

Properties:

Default: NOSHOW-DIR
Phase: Syntax check
$SET: Any

Comments:

A directives file means cobol.dir (UNIX) or a file that appears in a DIRECTIVES or USE directive (all platforms). For the contents of cobol.dir to appear in the source listing, SHOW-DIR must be specified at the start of cobol.dir, as this file is processed before any other directive.

You can use SHOW-DIR and NOSHOW-DIR selectively so that only parts of the directives file are output to the listing.
