CLI

The OL Next CLI converts programs from the terminal. Run ol-next --help for the full list of options.

Option	Description	Default
--source-kit	Language kit: cobol-cics, cobol-ims, rpgle-dspf, rpgle-rpc	cobol-cics
--source	Path to the main program source file	required
--screens	Path to screen map files (.bms, .mfs, .dspf)	-
--copybooks	Comma-separated copybook or include directories	-
--psb	IMS PSB source files for DL/I programs	-
--dbd	IMS DBD source files for DL/I programs	-
--out	Output directory for the generated code	required
--phase	FAITHFUL, REFACTOR, AGGRESSIVE	REFACTOR
--oo-style	STATE_PATTERN, PARAGRAPH_METHODS, WORKFLOW_GRAPH	STATE_PATTERN
--naming	PRESERVE, CAMEL_CASE	CAMEL_CASE
--dynamic	Drop @CompileStatic for plain Groovy	off
--trace	Record the path a generated program takes: OFF, PARAGRAPH, STATEMENT	OFF

--trace is not for production builds. It changes the shipped artifacts, not just the comparison oracle: PARAGRAPH adds trace calls, and STATEMENT additionally synthesizes an else block for every IF that has none. It is reliable for COBOL only: in RPGLE a SELECT folds into a nested IF chain whose arms all carry the SELECT header's line, so the markers do not say which arm ran. Convert with OFF for anything you intend to ship.
