SET CCITIMEOUT=value
UNIX:
CCITIMEOUT=value}
export CCITIMEOUT
Default
The default is 1200 (2 minutes).
ExampleSET CCITIMEOUT=2400
Syntax
Windows:
set CCITCP2=hostname
UNIX:
CCITCP2=hostname
export CCITCP2
Parameters
hostname is the TCP hostname or dotted decimal IP address of the machine running the CCITCP2 daemon you wish to contact from that session.
Comments
The environment variable value will always take precedence over any value set using the Configuration Utility. To restore a process to using the value set by the Configuration Utility simply set the environment variable to an empty string, such as
set CCITCP2=
Alternatively, if this environment variable is set system-wide (by creating a system variable in the system environment settings, or by using a CONFIG.SYS file) then this value will always take precedence over any value set using the Configuration Utility.
Syntax
Windows:

Syntax
Windows:
set CCITCPS_old_server_name=[new_server_name,]{MFNODE=node_name | MFPORT=port_number | MFNODE=node_name, MFPORT=port_number}
UNIX:
CCITCPS_old_server_name=[new_server_name,]{MFNODE=node_name | MFPORT=port_number | MFNODE=node_name, MFPORT=port_number}
export CCITCPS
Parameters
Note that this will only work if the server application process is started in the same session or process that has this environment variable set.
Example
Windows:
set CCITCPS_server_name=MFPORT:3000
UNIX:
set CCITCPS_MY_SERVER_NAME=MFPORT:3000
export CCITCPS_MY_SERVER_NAME
If a client is known to be trying to connect to a server with Server Name server_name, and the TCP address and port (e.g. 3000) that the server is using is known, then the client can be made to connect directly to it by setting this environment variable.
Syntax
CCITCPT_server_name=MFNODE:server_hostname,MFPORT:port_number
Note that this can be used instead of setting the client Machine Name value. This is useful if the Machine Name value the client specifies cannot be altered by an application defined method.
Parameters
Example
CCITCPT_server1=MFNODE:server2,MFPORT:3000
You can specify the type of information that will be recorded by CCI tracing. To do this, configure the CCITRACE environment variable as follows:
CCITRACE=options
where any, or all, of the following options can be specified with a preceding / or -:
The ctf.cfg and the CCI.INI file ([ccitrace_base] section) can also be used to control trace options, but any values specified by the CCITRACE environment variable will take precedence.
COB_LIVE_RECORD=[path-name/]file-prefix
Animator can update the information file to record information held between sessions.
COB_LIVE_RECORD_SIZE=mem-size
COB_LIVE_RECORD_SIZE=268
When the limit is reached, the buffer is cycled so that the oldest events are removed to make space for the most recent events.
An adequate range for 32-bit systems is between 500 and 1000.
You might need to experiment to determine the most optimal setting
COB_LIVE_RECORD_SIZE=756
Specifies the directory path that Animator is to search for the session (.aif) file for the program being animated, if it is not found in the same directory as the information (.idy) file. Animator can update the session file to record information held between sessions. The .aif file contains details of breakpoints and monitors.
Syntax
COBAIF=pathname export COBAIF
Parameters
Comments
If the .aif file is not found in the directory specified, a search is made of the directories specified by the COBIDY environment variable. If the file is still not found, the current directory is searched.
If an .aif file does not exist, Animator creates it as follows:
Specifies the basename of the Animator session file (.aif ) for the program being animated. The .aif file contains details of breakpoints and monitors.
Syntax
COBAIFNAME=basename export COBAIFNAME
Parameters
Comments
You need to specify this environment variable if you are starting Animator using COBSW=+A and you want to save breakpoints for subsequent animation sessions. You can also specify it if you are starting Animator using the command anim; in this case the basename you specify overrides the application name as the basename of the .aif file.
Specifies additional directives to be used by Character Animator.
Syntax
COBANIMOPT=directive-list export COBANIMOPT
Parameters
Comments
When you invoke Character Animator, it first reads the directives you have specified in COBANIMOPT and then uses any directives you specify in the command line (which might override some of the directives you set in COBANIMOPT).
Example
COBANIMOPT="MIXEDLANGDEBUG MULTITHREAD" export COBANIMOPT
Identifies which COBOL program a waiting Character Animator process should attach to.
Syntax
COBANIMSRV=progid export COBANIMSRV
Parameters
Comments
This environment variable is particularly useful for starting cross-session debugging.
Example
In one console session:
export COBANIMSRV=myid
myid is now a unique identifier that you can use to match Character Animator to a program. Type the command to start Character Animator:
cobanimsrv
The Character Animator waits for a COBOL program to start that has a matching identifier. In another console session:
export COBANIMSRV=myid cobrun prog1.int
When prog1.int starts, the unique identifier myid matches that of Character Animator; therefore, Character Animator attaches to this process. In console session 1, the Character Animator main screen is displayed and the cursor placed on the first line of prog1.int.
Specifies non-standard behavior for HIGHLIGHT and LOWLIGHT clauses used with ACCEPT and DISPLAY statements. It provides compatibility with earlier COBOL products. You should avoid using it wherever possible as support might be discontinued at some future date.
Syntax
COBATTR=n export COBATTR
Parameters
n A value in the range 0 through 7. It can be one of the following values, or a cumulative value; for example, specifying a value of 6 would result in the behavior described for values 4 and 2.
Provides standard, default behavior.
When a COBOL program displays text subject to a HIGHLIGHT or LOWLIGHT clause, the run-time system uses respectively the bold or dim mode specified in the terminfo entry for the terminal. If the bold or dim mode is not specified, then the HIGHLIGHT or LOWLIGHT clause respectively has no effect.
When a COBOL program displays text subject to a HIGHLIGHT clause, the run-time system uses the bold mode. The run-time system uses the default mode for normal text. Specifying dim mode in the terminfo entry for the terminal has no affect. The LOWLIGHT clause has no effect.
High and low intensity space characters are not assumed to be the same as normal mode space characters.
As for 1 and 2 above
Provides compatibility with default behavior of products before COBOL version 3.2.
When a COBOL program displays text subject to a HIGHLIGHT clause, the effect depends on whether the dim mode is specified in the terminfo entry for the terminal. If dim mode is specified, then the run-time system uses the default mode for highlighted text and the dim mode for normal text. If the dim mode is not specified, then the run-time system uses the bold mode for highlighted text and default mode for normal text. The LOWLIGHT clause has no effect, giving the same appearance as normal text.
Example
COBATTR=1 export COBATTR
Specifies a run-time configuration file that tailors the run-time configurable options in some way.
Syntax
Windows:
SET COBCONFIG=pathname
UNIX:
COBCONFIG=pathname
export COBCONFIG
Parameters
Comments
If $COBCONFIG is not set then the file $COBDIR/etc/cobconfig is searched for instead.
Example
UNIX:
COBCONFIG=/home/mydir/cobconfig
export COBCONFIG
Windows:
SET COBCONFIG=/home/mydir/cobconfig
Values
Specifies the directory or directories that the Compiler and Animator should search for copyfiles.
Syntax
Windows:
SET COBCPY=pathname[:pathname]...
UNIX:
COBCPY=pathname[:pathname]...
export COBCPY
Parameters
A directory that the Compiler and Animator are to search when looking for copyfiles. When more than one pathname is present, a null pathname represents the current working directory.
Example
Windows:
SET COBCPY=/home/group/sharedcopy::mydir/mycpy
UNIX:
COBCPY=/home/group/sharedcopy::mydir/mycpy
export COBCPY
causes the Compiler to search for a copyfile in /home/group/sharedcopy, then in the current directory and finally in ./mydir/mycpy until either the copyfile is found or it can be considered not found.
Specifies the directory or directories that the run-time system is to search for data files. Provides you with the facility to map data files globally, thus enabling you to put working data files in a directory whose name is not known until run time.
Syntax
UNIX:
COBDATA=pathname[:pathname]...
export COBDATA
Windows:
COBDATA=pathname[:pathname]...
Comments
COBDATA affects the compiler and other utilities. During compilation, for example, program source is regarded as a data file by the compiler. If you intend to use any COBOL development system utilities, we recommend that the COBDATA value starts with a colon (:).
COBDATA is considered set if there is an environment variable of this name in your environment space, and its value is non-empty.
The full mapping order for files is:
For multiple directory paths specified either in the COBDATA environment variable or a dd_ environment variable, the system searches the first directory specified followed by a slash (/) as a prefix to the user name.
If the filename is not found, or is not readable, the search continues with the next directory until the final directory has been searched. If no file is found, the first directory is used if a file is to be created.
Any dd_ and COBDATA mappings are ignored for any filename that starts with a hyphen () or a slash (/). In addition, it is illegal to have a hyphen in an environment variable name.
When using this facility, you should not use a filename that starts with "COB... "(these are reserved for the COBOL system).
You can use the COBDATA environment variable for files open in any mode (including OUTPUT) and for fixed or variable length files. If you are using indexed files, both the data and index files must be in the same directory.
The COBDATA environment variable affects file deletes, using the rules given here, as well as file opens.
If you intend to use COBOL development system programs, we recommend that you first unset COBDATA, as many of these programs open data files and are thus affected by the value of COBDATA. If you have to set COBDATA, you should include the paths :$COBDIR/dynload/helptbox.lbr and :$COBDIR/dynload/check.lbr at the beginning of the COBDATA value. If you want to see the Animator Help pages, also include COBDIR/dynload/advanim.lbr.
Example
UNIX:
COBDATA=:demo:/home/data:progs
export COBDATA
Windows:
SET COBDATA=:demo:/home/data:progs
causes COBDATA to be set to instruct the run-time system to search for data files in the current directory, then in the directory ./demo, then in the directory /home/data and finally in ./progs.
COBDIR=path-name
On Windows platforms, the Micro Focus COBOL system is normally installed in the default COBOL system directory and so does not require COBDIR to be set. COBDIR only needs to be set when your COBOL system has been installed in a different directory such as when more than one version of the COBOL system is available at the same time.
Windows platforms:
This example causes the compiler to search the directory C:\products\cobse20 for the Micro Focus COBOL system software:
COBDIR=C:\products\cobse20
UNIX platforms:
This example causes the compiler to search the directory /home/products/cobse20 for the Micro Focus COBOL system software.
COBDIR=/home/products/cobse20
Specifies the directory that Animator is to search for the information (.idy) file for the program being animated if it is not found in the same directory as the intermediate code (.int) file. Animator can update the information file to record information held between sessions.
Syntax
COBIDY=pathname export COBIDY
COBJIT_ECLIPSE={true|workspace}
Specifies which Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to load.
Windows:
SET COBJVM=platform_nnn
UNIX:
COBJVM=platform_nnn
export COBJVM
Parameters
platform_nnn where
Comments
You might need to set COBJVM if you are developing distributed applications with both COBOL and Java components.
Example
Windows:
SET COBJVM=ibm_122
UNIX:
COBJVM=ibm_122
export COBJVM
Specifies the maximum elapsed time, in tenths of a second, for the connected terminal to transmit any valid escape sequence to the run-time system.
When a terminal key is depressed, the terminal might send in response a single character or a group of characters to the run-time system. Typically, such a group of characters starts with an escape character and the group of characters is known as an escape sequence. A terminal might send an escape sequence for one depression of a function key. It might also send the same sequence of characters for a depression of the Escape key followed by the depression of one or more alphabetic or numeric data keys. The only difference apparent to the run-time system is the interval between the arrival of each character; the user cannot type as fast as the escape sequence is generated by the terminal.
If a terminal is connected over a network that sends the characters to the run-time system in discrete packets, then the network can alter the intervals between each character arriving at the run-time system. COBKEYTIMEOUT is available to help compensate for typical network delays so the run-time system identifies escape sequences correctly.
Syntax
Windows:
SET COBKEYTIMEOUT=n
UNIX:
COBKEYTIMEOUT=n
export COBKEYTIMEOUT
Parameters
n A number in the range 1 through 126 that represents the maximum elapsed time required for a terminal to transmit any valid escape sequence to the run-time system over the line or network connection. On encountering a lone Escape character, the run-time system waits n tenths of a second before assuming that the character does not introduce an escape sequence. The run-time system calculates an appropriate default value for n from the baud rate of the terminal.
Example 1:
COBLPFORM 1:3:5:7:9:11:13:15:17:19:21:23
In this example C01 equals 1, C02 equals 3, and so on.
Example 2:
COBLPFORM :3::5: :9
In this example, C01 equals 3, C02 equals 5, C03 equals 1, and C04 equals 9. You can specify only a single line number for each channel.
In example 2 above, channels C05 - C12 are undefined. If a print statement specifies channel C05 - C12, the line is printed at line 1. In addition, in the example shown, C03 equals 1 because its value is a space and therefore undefined.
Any WRITE BEFORE/AFTER PAGE statements cause positioning to be at line 1. Each line advance increases the line number by one. A request to skip to a line number less than or equal to the current line causes a new page to begin. The appropriate number of line feeds are then generated.
This variable is used to specify the size of the main stack.
Syntax
Windows:
SET COBMAINSTACK=n
UNIX:
COBMAINSTACK=n
export COBMAINSTACK
Parameters
n - The size, in bytes, of the stack.
The main stack size defaults to three times the size of a threaded stack. The size of a threaded stack is either specified when the stack is created (using CBL_THREAD_CREATE), or it defaults to 160KB for a 32-bit application or 320KB for a 64-bit application.
You might need to set COBMAINSTACK in any of the following circumstances:
Syntax
COBMODE=mode; export COBMODE
Parameters
mode = 32 or 64.
Example
COBMODE=32; export COBMODE
Syntax
COBOPT="[set environment-variable=value] [options] ... [cobextn: .ext [.ext] ... ]" export COBOPT
or
COBOPT=[pathname/]filename export COBOPT
If a line does not begin with one of the identifiers set or cobextn: then it is taken as an options line.
Comments
COBOPT can either contain options that supplement or override the system default options defined in $COBDIR/etc/cobopt, or it can specify the path of a file that contains such options. The options can extend over more than one line and each line must have the same format as described for the file $COBDIR/etc/cobopt in the chapter COBOL System Interface (cob).
Examples
COBOPT="CANS85 set COBCPY=$COBDIR/srclib/:$HOME/mylib:" export COBOPT
This enables ANSI 85 standard COBOL syntax and sets COBCPY to the specified list of paths.
COBOPT=temp/options
Specifies that cob options are contained in the file options in the directory temp.
Specifies the directory or directories that the run-time system is to search for dynamically loadable .int and .gnt files, or callable shared objects.
Syntax
Windows:
SET COBPATH=pathname[:pathname]...
UNIX:
COBPATH=pathname[:pathname]...
export COBPATH
Parameters
pathname A list of search directories, each item separated by a semicolon (Windows) or colon (UNIX), that the run-time system is to search for a dynamically loadable program (.int, .gnt or callable shared object) file. When more than one pathname is specified, a null pathname represents the current working directory.
Example
Windows:
SET COBPATH=u:/home/mydir/srclib:otherlib
UNIX:
COBPATH=u:/home/mydir/srclib:otherlib
export COBPATH
Specifies the name of a print spooler that is to receive, via its standard input stream (stdin), output from any DISPLAY UPON PRINTER statement.
Syntax
Windows:
SET COBPRINTER=command-line
UNIX:
COBPRINTER=command-line
export COBPRINTER
Parameters
Comments
Each DISPLAY UPON PRINTER statement executed by your COBOL program causes a new invocation of command-line. Each invocation receives the data referenced in the DISPLAY statement, and is followed by a system end-of-file condition.
Example
Windows:
SET COBPRINTER="myspooler -a $TMPDIR\spoolfile"
UNIX:
COBPRINTER="myspooler -a $TMPDIR/spoolfile"
export COBPRINTER
Specifies the UNIX Session Recorder functions to perform.
Syntax
COBSES={option[filename]}...
export COBSES
option can be one or more of the following:
These flags are all case sensitive. Also, you cannot combine the -r flag with either -f or -p.
Syntax
Windows:
SET COBSW=[+/-}s...
UNIX:
COBSW=[+/-}s...
export COBSW
A list of the run-time switches to set or unset.
Example
Windows:
SET COBSW=+0+D
UNIX:
COBSW=+0+D
export COBSW
This enables run-time switch 0 and the ANSI COBOL debug switch.
COBTERMINFO=pathname[:pathname]... export COBTERMINFO
Parameters
pathname A list of search directories, each item separated by a colon, that identify a terminfo database containing terminal settings tailored for COBOL applications. A null pathname represents the current working directory.
Comments
The COBOL system takes the value of the standard UNIX environment variable TERM as the name of the terminal in use. It uses this to search for the appropriate terminal information in a terminfo database. The run-time system first searches the databases identified in COBTERMINFO and then, if the terminal information is not found it searches the database identified in the standard UNIX environment variable TERMINFO.
If COBTERMINFO is not set, the run-time system acts as if it had been set to $COBDIR/terminfo.
Micro Focus recommend that the first directory listed in COBTERMINFO is $COBDIR/terminfo so that the terminfo database supplied with this COBOL system is found first. For commonly used terminals this terminfo contains settings that are fuller and more appropriate to COBOL than those normally available in the UNIX system terminfo database. When debugging using Animator, COBTERMINFO must be set to $COBDIR/terminfo.
COBTERMINFO can also be used to identify a terminfo database that is portable between UNIX systems. Such a database conforms to the standard UNIX database format but does not include any supplementary, UNIX implementation-dependent terminal information. Many UNIX system terminfo databases are not portable because they include such supplementary information. The COBOL system ignores any such nonportable details.
Example
COBTERMINFO=$COBDIR/terminfo:/home/mydir/terms export COBTERMINFO
Specifies the column width of the terminal screen or window, overriding the specified terminal default.
Syntax
COLUMNS=n export COLUMNS
Parameters
n The width of the terminal screen or window, in column positions.
Comments
The default, when COLUMNS is unset or null, is to use the cols value defined in the specified terminal's terminfo entry, or the current width of the terminal window if you are using an X terminal. The terminal type is specified using the standard UNIX environment variable, TERM.
On non-windowing environments, where the terminal screen area cannot be resized, the COLUMNS values does not need to be set. Terminals that can switch into a wide mode (usually from 80 through 132 columns) have a terminal name ending in "w" and these are automatically supported, without the need to set COLUMNS.
In windowing environments, where the size of windows can be changed, the initial size of the window is used in preference to the cols value in terminfo. When the window is resized, the new size is reread. If the new size is greater than the initial size then the extra columns might not be used.
If you want to use the full width of the window you might need to set COLUMNS to the current column width of the window on some platforms.
Using COLUMNS values that do not correspond to the actual width of the window produces unexpected results.
Example
COLUMNS=100 export COLUMNS
CTM_SPACE={[ON|YES]|[OFF|NO]}
CTM_SPACE=ON
Values
Syntax
Windows:
SET ENTRYNAMEMAP={filename|directory}; ...
UNIX:
ENTRYNAMEMAP={filename|directory}; ...
export ENTRYNAMEMAP
Parameters
filename An entry map file.
directory A directory containing an entry name map file. The name of the entry name map file must be mfentmap.dat.
Comments
You must set the entry_name_mapper tunable to enable entry point mapper support.
If ENTRYNAMEMAP is not set, the run-time system searches for an entry name map file called mfentmap.dat in each folder specified by the COBDIR environment variable.
If the run-time system finds more than one entry name map file and same entry point is defined differently in different files, precedence is given to the definition in the entry name map file that was found first. To change the order in which the run-time system finds entry name map files you need to change the order in which the files appear in the COBDIR or ENTRYNAMEMAP environment variable paths.
Syntax
ES_3270_REMOVE_NULL_COLOR_ATTRIB=value
Values
Default
The default screen size is used.
UNIX:

ES_CAT_RETRY_COUNT=n
| Default: | ES_CAT_RETRY_COUNT=0 |
Take care when setting these variables as they could impact the time taken to report an error and therefore will delay processing of a job whilst the checks take place. These variables can be useful if you experience file access problems (for example, network connection drop-outs) that only last a second or two, so that it gives the system a chance to recover, before aborting.
ES_CAT_RETRY_WAIT=n
| Default: | ES_CAT_RETRY_WAIT=0 |
Use this variable in conjunction with the ES_CAT_RETRY_COUNT variable, which determines how many attempts to make to open a catalog file that initially failed to open.

Legacy behavior.
Comments
When this environment variable is set, Enterprise Server will only make one attempt to identify a user presenting the user ID and password as is (M), folded to uppercase (U) or folded to lower case (L). If this environment variable is not set, the legacy Enterprise Server behavior will be used.
For the legacy behavior for CICS, the User ID and the password are used as supplied possibly filtered by the uppercase translation configuration of the sign-on transaction.
For ESMAC and IMS, the legacy behavior is that, first, the user ID and password are used as supplied. If the authentication fails, the user ID is folded to uppercase and used again. If this fails as well, both the user ID and the password are folded to uppercase and then used.
Example
ES_ESM_IDPW_CASE=UM - a single authentication is tried with the user ID folded to uppercase, and the password used as-is.

Specifies the directory or directories for the UNIX system, cob command, and the run-time system to search for shared libraries and callable shared objects. If you have installed the product to a directory other than the default one, you must set this variable to include $COBDIR/lib on all platforms except AIX (which uses LIBPATH). It should also include any directories that contain callable shared objects used by your application. If you have installed the product in the default directory (/opt/microfocus/EnterpriseDeveloper), you do not need to set this variable.
Syntax
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=pathname[:pathname]... export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
pathname A path or a list of paths, each separated by a colon (:).
Comments
The list of directories must include $COBDIR/lib. The COBDIR environment variable is described earlier.
This environment variable is a system environment variable; see your UNIX documentation for more information.

| Default: | None* |
| * If a value set using this variable is not valid, the default values of <0001000>{-|+}<0099999> are set. | |
This environment variable can be used to enable a seven-digit Job number limit. If the <upper value> mentioned is greater than 99999, then 6+ digit job number support is enabled. The maximum value that can be set is 9999999.
MF_MVSJOB=low number + high number
Where high number is less than 0099999, and ensuring that the + sign is used to separate the low and high values.
set MF_MVSJOB=0000010+0000100
Resets the values to start with job number 10 and run through to job number 100. When the upper limit has been reached you receive a message:
All job numbers in the range 0000010:0000100 are in use
At this point you need to remove some jobs from the spool - you can use the spool housekeeping functions to do this.

SET MFJSABCODE=code
UNIX:
MFJSABCODE=code
export MFJSABCODE
Parameters
code A decimal value between 1 and 99 representing the abend code to be issued.
Any specified value outside of the range 1 to 99 will result in an abend code of S00D being issued.
Default
By default, this environment variable is not set. If so, and if MFJSERET=ABEND is in effect, an abend S00D (decimal code 16) is issued when a Sort or Merge operation fails with an unrecoverable error.
Example
MFJSABCODE=77
This example results in abend code S04D being issued.
MFJSENGINE={DFSORT|SYNCSORT}
| Default: | MFJSENGINE=DFSORT |
Syntax
Windows:
SET MFJSERET=ABEND
UNIX:
MFJSERET=ABEND
export MFJSERET
Parameters
ABEND The operation will abend and its program will continue instead of terminating with an unrecoverable error (return code 16)
Default
By default, this environment variable is not set.
Syntax
Windows:
SET MFJSSTRICTSORT=ON|OFF
UNIX:
MFJSSTRICTSORT=ON|OFF
export MFJSSTRICTSORT
Default
The default is OFF.
Example
MFJSSTRICTSORT=ON
For a COBOL sort not running under mainframe emulation, setting the environment variable MFJSTATS to ON creates a report containing statistics for the SORT that is displayed to SYSOUT. If a report file already exists for a previous SORT, the new statistics are appended to the end of the previous one.
If you are performing a COBOL sort using mainframe emulation, you can create a statistics report by modifying the JCL statement.
Syntax
Windows:
SET MFJSTATS=switch
UNIX:
MFJSTATS=switch
export MFJSTATS
Parameters
switch Switches report creation ON or OFF. The default is OFF.
Use this environment variable for Y2K compatibility, when two-digit year values are used.
Syntax
Windows:
SET MFJSWINDOW=value
UNIX:
MFJSWINDOW=value
export MFJSWINDOW
Values
To set a sliding century window, set a value between 0 and 100. For example, a value of 80 would set a century window of 1931-2030 in 2011, 1932-2031 in 2012, and so on.
To set a fixed century window, set a value between 1000 and 3000. For example, a value of 1973 would set a century window of 1973-2072.
Default
The default is a sliding value of 80 when emulating DFSORT, and a default value of 0 when emulating SYNCSORT. A value of 0 equates to a century window, starting in the current year.
Comment
You can use this environment variable instead of the Y2PAST sort option.
Example
MFJSWINDOW=25
Specifies a configuration file for Language Environment (LE) run-time options.
Syntax
Windows:
SET MFLECONFIG=filename
UNIX:

MFUSERCAT_BASE_LOC=path-and-file-name
| Default: | None |
MFUSERCAT_LOC=[path]file-name[;[path]file-name]][...]
| Default: | None |
If multiple catalog files are in the same location, you can use the environment variable MFUSERCAT_LOC to store that location. If you do this, you only need to specify the file name of each catalog file in MFUSERCAT_LOC.
MFUSERCAT_NODE=node-name[,node-name][...]
| Default: | None |
Each node can include wildcards. You can use * (for any number of characters) or ? (for a single character) in a node specification. You can also use the UNIX-style square bracket notation (part of the regular expression feature), where you specify a list of permissible characters at a particular point within the node specification; see Examples of Using Multiple Catalogs for more information.
To enable support for the SMS entities DATACLAS and MGMTCLAS, this variable needs to be set in addition to setting MF_SMS=ON.
Each node-name entry in MFUSERCAT_NODE must have a corresponding entry in MFUSERCAT_LOC.
Use the ES_OPEN_CAT_ON_DEMAND variable to determine if these catalogs are opened when the region starts, or only opened when they are required.
MQSERVER=channel-name/transport-type/{machine-name|ip-address(port-number)}
[,{machine-name|ip-address}(port-number)][...]]

Specifies the directories to be searched by all UNIX programs, including the run-time system, when finding executables to be run.
Syntax
PATH=pathname[:pathname]... export PATH
Parameters
pathname A directory to search for executables.
Example
PATH=$COBDIR/bin:$PATH export PATH
Syntax
Windows:
SET SORTCOMPRESS=n
UNIX:
SORTCOMPRESS=n
export SORTCOMPRESS
Parameters
n - An integer that indicates if compression is enabled or not. 0 (zero, the default) indicates not enabled; any positive integer indicates enabled. When enabled, it allows for run-length encoding of sort records, resulting in much better performance when records contain multiple repeated characters.
Comments
This variable is recommended if the sort records contain many single repeated characters, for example, multiple spaces, as it can be very effective in improving memory usage and therefore sort performance.
Example
Windows:
SET SORTCOMPRESS=5
UNIX:
SORTCOMPRESS=5
export SORTCOMPRESS
SORTEXITREENTRY={ON|OFF}
SORTEXITREENTRY=OFF
Syntax
Windows:
SET SORTSCHEME=1
UNIX:
SORTSCHEME=1
export SORTSCHEME
Syntax
Windows:
SET SORTSPACE=n[K|k|M|m|G|g]
UNIX:
SORTSPACE=n[K|k|M|m|G|g]
export SORTSPACE
Parameters
n[K|k|M|m|G|g The amount of memory to be allocated to internal workspace for SORT operations. K or k indicates kilobytes, M or m indicates megabytes and G or g indicates gigabytes. No letter indicates bytes. Defaults to 1 megabyte.
Comments
A larger value for SORTSPACE will generally result in a faster sort. However, if you specify a value that exceeds the capacity of main memory in your computer, such that the operating system has to page memory in and out, performance will be degraded.
Example
Windows:
SET SORTSPACE=1024K
UNIX:
SORTSPACE=1024K
export SORTSPACE
Syntax
Windows:
SET SORTTEMPSPACE=n[K|k|M|m|G|g]
UNIX:
SORTTEMPSPACE=n[K|k|M|m|G|g]
export SORTTEMPSPACE
Parameters
n[K|k|M|m|G|g] The amount of memory to be allocated to temporary workspace for SORT operations. K or k indicates kilobytes, M or m indicates megabytes and G or g indicates gigabytes. No letter indicates bytes. 32 megabytes is the lowest amount of memory that can be allocated.
Comments
The memory allocation strategy used by SORT can be adjusted through use of SORTTEMPSPACE, which generally improves performance in systems suffering from memory fragmentation.
Example
Windows:
SET SORTTEMPSPACE=250MB
UNIX:
SORTTEMPSPACE=250MB
export SORTTEMPSPACE
Syntax
Windows:
SET SORTTYPE=2
UNIX:
SORTTYPE=2
export SORTTYPE

Syntax
TERM=name export TERM
Parameters
name The name of the terminal in the terminfo database.
Example
TERM=at386 export TERM
Specifies the directory to be searched by all UNIX programs, including the run-time system, for the UNIX system terminfo database.
Syntax
TERMINFO=pathname export TERMINFO
Parameters
pathname The name of a directory that contains the UNIX system terminfo database.
Comments
The UNIX system terminfo database is used by all UNIX applications that need to use a terminal. However, COBOL applications tend to make much fuller and sophisticated use of the terminal and require a fuller terminfo description than is required by typical UNIX applications such as vi. Some terminal capabilities, such as those set during the initialization of the terminal to control the use of function keys, commonly conflict with the needs of typical COBOL applications. In such cases, the terminal information required by COBOL can be stored in a separate terminfo database and referenced using COBTERMINFO.
Syntax
TMPDIR=pathname export TMPDIR
Parameters
pathname The directory used by UNIX applications for any temporary work files. Temporary work files can be created by COBOL utilities such as Cob or by the run-time system when it executes statements such as SORT. If you do not specify a directory, the system default directory is used.
Comments
You might need to use this environment variable if the run-time system needs to page data to disk when creating heaps or sorting.
TX_MQ_CONVERT=codeset[,Force]
TX_MQ_CONVERT=037
To force the convert option for MQ even if the application does not set the option on the call, specify the code set followed by Force:

Windows: SET USSCONFIG=/absolute/path/to/cipher/suite/specification/file(s)
VSE_STARTUP_CFG=config-file
| Default: | None |
Syntax:
SET XFHLOG=DEFAULT
Parameters:
DEFAULT - generates the log file in the current directory.
Comments:
If the XFHLOG variable is not set, the log file is created in C:\ProgramData\Micro Focus\File Handler\[version-number].
where [version-number] represents the version of your Micro Focus product.
The effect of this variable can be overridden by the LOGFILENAME configuration option.
