CP プリプロセッサ

Note: The Integrated Preprocessor is supported for native COBOL only.

The CP preprocessor is designed to be used as a stacked preprocessor. It reads and expands source files (including copyfiles), plus it returns additional information to the other preprocessors in the stack about the effect of REPLACE and REPLACING. It thus removes these quite complex functions from other preprocessors.

The CP preprocessor has the following restrictions:

It only recognizes normal COBOL tokens and COPY statements
It does not show the effect of BASIS
It is not designed to accept program source containing double-byte character set (DBCS) characters
