$SET:	Initial

Dependencies:

RM sets COMP-6"1", SEQUENTIAL"LINE", NOTRUNC, OLDINDEX, NOOPTIONAL-FILE, RETRYLOCK and ALIGN"2" immediately.

RM"ANSI" sets COMP-6"1", SEQUENTIAL"RECORD", NOTRUNC, OLDINDEX, NOOPTIONAL-FILE, RETRYLOCK and ALIGN"2" immediately.

NORM sets COMP-6"2", SEQUENTIAL"RECORD", TRUNC"ANSI", NOOLDINDEX, OPTIONAL-FILE, NORETRYLOCK and ALIGN"8" immediately.

Comments:

With the ANSI parameter these features behave as they do when a program is compiled in that COBOL system with the ANSI switch set. See your COBOL Language Reference.

You should be aware that when you use the RM directive, you need to manually link in the RMSTAT module, so that performance time is not adversely affected.
