string contains a list of parameters, each defining a language level or optional module of the ANSI Standard. A feature is not flagged if it is in one of the specified levels or below, or in one of the specified optional modules. A feature is flagged if it is an extension, in a higher level of the Standard, or in an optional module not specified. In addition, it is possible to flag elements identified as Obsolete by the ANSI Standard.
string consists of a combination of the following parameters:
| M | ANSI'85 defined Minimum COBOL subset |
| I | ANSI'85 defined Intermediate COBOL subset |
| H | ANSI'85 defined High COBOL subset |
| C1 | Communications optional module level 1 |
| C2 | Communications optional module level 2 |
| D1 | Debug optional module level 1 |
| D2 | Debug optional module level 2 |
| S1 | Segmentation optional module level 1 |
| S2 | Segmentation optional module level 2 |
| R | Report writer optional module |
| O | Obsolete language elements |
They can appear in any order but must be separated by at least one space. The following combination of flags can be specified:
FLAG and FLAGSTD provide similar functionality and thus only one can be used.
The ANS85 directive must be on.
