I need to pass the TRAP(OFF) runtime option to an IBM AIX COBOL application. The problem is, I have no idea how to do that, and I can’t find anything in the IBM documentation on how to do that. I’ve tried export TRAP=OFF in my runscript, but that didnt do it. Does anyone know how to do this?
In order to set runtime options for applications created with COBOL for AIX, one must set the environment variable COBRTOPT to contain the options to be set. For example, to set TRAP(OFF) :
export COBRTOPT=”TRAP(OFF)”
I will ask our documentation writers to clarify the documention by perhaps linking the second reference back to the first.
