Summary: The OSEXT compile directive specifies the default filename extension for the source-code file. The OSEXT defaults are as follows: OSEXT“COB” is the default for MS(2). OSEXT“CBL” is the default for all other COBOL-dialect directives. The SOURCE-EXT compiler directive causes the compiler to put the specified string into the .OBJ file as the filename extension of the file that a (non-Microsoft, non-Micro Focus) run-time debugger should look at for the program’s source. Use this directive only when the EANIM directive is specified and the program includes COPY files. With copy files in source, SOURCE-EXT should be .LST (listing filename). The SOURCE-EXT defaults are as follows: SOURCE-EXT“COB” is the default for the MS(2) directive. SOURCE-EXT“CBL” is the default for all other COBOL-dialect directives. For more information on these directives, see the “Microsoft COBOL Compiler 3.0: Operating Guide,” Pages 2-11 through 2-62.
