Problem:

We note that the documentation indicates this defaults to NOWB3, but that it is being set to wb3 here for a compile of the generated COBOL. What is the WB3 directive?

Resolution:

Notes: The WB directives are there to specify to the compiler that its in  GUI environment as opposed to command-line. Compile errors in the IDE can't just be output as per the command-line, but have to go through an extra layer called checkov. We also pass some extra information to the IDE under this directive (copy file names etc.)
