Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Use COBOL Linking Options to select floating point or segmentation
     support.
 
     Option                         Result
 
     Floating Point Support          Select this option if your COBOL
                                     program uses any floating point
                                     data items or operations.
 
                                     This option adds the required
                                     floating point library to the list
                                     of library files.
 
     Intrinsic Functions Support     Select this option if your program
                                     includes intrinsic functions.
 
                                     Note: Many of the intrinsic functions
                                     also require floating point support.
 
     Segmented Program               Select this option if any of the
                                     COBOL programs in the project make
                                     use of COBOL segmentation.
 
                                     This option adds additional commands
                                     to the makefile produced by the
                                     Programmer's WorkBench to ensure all
                                     object files produced by the
                                     compiler are correctly linked into
                                     the resulting executable file.
