────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Use the COBOL processor option to enable the instruction set for
     any of the following processors:
 
     Option     Command-Line Directive
 
     8086       TARGET(8086)
     80286      TARGET(286)
 
     Programs compiled with the 8086 option also run on machines with
     an 80186, 80188, or 80286 processor.
 
     Programs compiled with the 80286 option do not run on an 8086
     processor.
