Truncating Names of Absolute Elements

If you are verifying ECL files for an application in which absolute element names differ from program IDs, you can tell the parser to truncate suffixes in the names of COBOL programs called by ECL:

1. Click Options > Workspace Options.

   Ths opens the Options - Workspace dialog box.

2. Click Verification > Settings tab.
3. In the Source Type list, click ECL File.
4. Check Truncate Names of Absolute Elements.

For example, if a COBOL program named CAP13MS.cob, defines the entry point CAP13M, and an ECL program named CAP13M.ecl executes an absolute element called CAP13MA, then setting this option causes the parser to create a reference to the entry point CAP13M rather than CAP13MA.
