Error Handling Settings in the IDE

Configuration file error reporting
Specify whether any errors detected during the processing of the configuration file are reported. When set to true, this also results in processing of the configuration file being terminated.

Equivalent tunable: cobconfig_error_report

Core dump file name
Specifies the name of the file that is generated when the Generate a core dump when a run-time error occurs setting is set to 3. The default is cblcore in the current working directory.

Equivalent tunable: core_filename

Enable duplicate program name detection
Specify whether an RTS 119 error is generated when an attempt is made to load a program containing a duplicate entry-point.

Equivalent tunable: error_on_duplicate_entry_point

Enable just-in-time debugging
Specify 0 (disabled) for applications running under Enterprise Server, otherwise 1.

Equivalent tunable: debug_on_error

Generate a core dump when a run-time error occurs
Specify a number that corresponds to the circumstances in which a core file should be produced. See the docs for the core_on_error tunable.

Equivalent tunable: core_on_error

Suppress divide-by-zero error reporting
Select this to ignore run-time error 48 (Attempt to divide by zero) when executing programs compiled with directives CHECKDIV"OSVS", CHECKDIV"VCS2" or CHECKDIV"COBOL370". If this is set, the program continues to execute with unpredictable results. If this is not set, the program produces error message 48, and execution terminates.
Validate numeric fields
Select this to check all numeric data items for valid numeric values when processing intermediate code. If a non-numeric value is detected, run-time error 163 (Illegal character in numeric field) is produced.

If you don't select this, data types are not checked. The result of moving a non-numeric value to a numeric data item is unpredictable.

Equivalent switch: F

Write system errors to the Windows Application event log
Specify whether an event is written to the Windows Application Event log whenever run-time system error COBRT199 occurs. This was the behavior in previous versions of this COBOL system.

Equivalent tunable: os_error_log
