1Initially, OpenVMS VAXcompatible alignment is speciﬁed either by

NOALIGNMENT or the absence of ALIGN on the compile command.

2The SET ALIGNMENT directive speciﬁes alignment along natural

boundaries, superseding the initial OpenVMS VAXcompatible alignment.

3The SET NOALIGNMENT directive speciﬁes VAXcompatible alignment; data

is now byte-aligned.

4The END-SET ALIGNMENT directive terminates the alignment speciﬁed

with the previous SET directive (3SET NOALIGNMENT). Alignment is once

again along the natural boundaries as speciﬁed by 2, the SET ALIGNMENT

directive.

5This END-SET ALIGNMENT directive terminates the alignment speciﬁed

with the original directive (2SET ALIGNMENT). Alignment is now

OpenVMS VAXcompatible as speciﬁed by the default command-line option.

16.4.3 Comparing Alignment Directive Effects

The alignment examples that follow illustrate the following important points:

• Compaq COBOL for OpenVMS VAXand Compaq COBOL align 01 (and 77)

data items along different boundaries, as follows:

Compaq COBOL for OpenVMS VAX aligns 01 data records and items

along longword boundaries. It byte-aligns all other ﬁelds unless SYNC

has been speciﬁed.

Compaq COBOL aligns 01 records and items along quadword boundaries.

It byte-aligns all other ﬁelds unless SYNC or the alignment option has

been speciﬁed.
