I have been successful in compiling a large cobol program using this beta version of AcuGT.

I am trying to generate the output code so that it will work with an older runtime.

Previously, I have used the compiler option -Z21 to generate a file that would run with version 2.1 of the runtime.  Similarly -Z43 for version 4.3

The documentation provided with the version (11.0.0.0) indicates that this option -Znn is available.

However, when I include it in a command line edit command, I get an error message:

Warning: Option -Znn (nn < 80) is obsolete and is ignored

Is there any alternative to this parameter for older runtimes?

I am not in a position to update the runtime to a later version.

@Steven Burns, what you are reporting is expected.

Reading the documentation that will go on-line soon:

"The compiler no longer supports the creation of object code for run-time versions 8.0 and earlier. If you regularly use the -Znn option to generate object code for use with the version 8.0 or earlier runtime, we recommend that you upgrade your run-time version"

Please consider that the versions of ACUCOBOL-GT that are currently under maintenance are 9.2.5 and 10.5.1.

Previous releases are considered obsolete and out-of-maintenance.

Regards.
