object-oriented COBOL extensions. They are not reserved in VS COBOL II or
COBOL for VSE/ESA. Use the compiler option WORD(NOOO) if you are

Typically, job control procedures are used to compile, linkedit and run COBOL
for OS/390 and VM programs under OS/390. Eight procedures are supplied with
COBOL for OS/390 and VM to do this.

IGYWC

Compile only.

IGYWCG

Compile, load, and run. This is equivalent to the process of

′

compile, link and go

′

 in VSE.

IGYWCL

Compile and linkedit.

IGYWCLG

Compile, linkedit, and run.

IGYWCPL

Compile, prelink, and linkedit.

IGYWCPLG

Compile, prelink, linkedit and run.

IGYWPL

Prelink and linkedit.

IGYWCPG

Compile, prelink, load, and run.

The use of these procedures is described fully in the

 COBOL for OS/390 and VM

Programming Guide.
