There have been lots of answers, but as you have explicitly said that you are NOT on z/OS 1.8, let me give you a summary of my understanding:
1) PL/I has "plixopt" (as I recall and COBOL has a share requirement, but currently there is NO way to set LE run-time options at the time of a COBOL compile. 2) You *CAN* (at your level) create CEEUOPT modules and link-edit them in (as other have pointed out). 3) At the LE 1.8 level, there is now a DDName that you can use (rather than PARMs) to set LE run-time options. This includes (but is certainly not limited to ENVIRON) 4) COBOL compiler options (rather than run-time options) can be specified in COBOL source code. *** Contact your "marketing branch" and ask them to place a REQUEST for your site referencing SHARE requirement: SSLNGC03004 COBOL compiler option to generate CEEUOPT run-time options currently responded to by IBM as "RECOGNIZED" "Jim McAlpine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > We have just started down the road of trying to invoke java classes from > batch COBOL but have hit a problem with the 100 character PARM field length > because we need to specify several runtime options such as ENVAR=...., > POSIX(ON) AND XPLINK(ON) on top of our own parameters.
