Where do you specify ARITH(EXTEND) OR ARITH(COMPAT)?

ARITH is a compiler option. Read section 2.1.5 of the COBOL Programming Guide manual to see how it can be specified in your program, in JCL, in TSO, or other ways.

Hello,

When you have a question, you need to start a new topic for your question rather than post a reply to some unrelated, inactive topic.

Why do you believe these should be used? Any compiles should be run using the system standard compile jcl, not some customized process of your own.

If there is a need to compile using some customized process, make sure you have either direction or permission from your management.
