Temporary fix
Comments
NEW FUNCTION. COBOL Runtime has been enhanced to allow users programs to take advantage of the IBM zHyperlink feature. To take advantage of the IBM zHyperLink product, the COBOL runtime was enhanced to provide additional information to the VSAM access methods such that VSAM would use zHyperlink if it was installed and enabled. This COBOL enhancement requires user to specify a runtime option to indicate that the new feature should be used. If the users do not specify this runtime option, then there will be no change to their current behavior. The runtime option requires an option control file be available during program execution. This control file is an option control assembler routine that sets flags for various options. Users should review COBOL Programming Guide, sections VSAM Dynamic Access Read Option and the How to build IGZUOPT and IGZQUOPT Run-time Option Control block section. Summary of new features added: - zHyperLink support for VSAM keyed files with the ACCESS MODE IS DYNAMIC - Additional report for COBOL Runtime options with RPTOPTS(ON) - New samples added: IGZ5OPT and IGZ6OPT in .SCEESAMP
