RM sets SEQUENTIAL"LINE", NOTRUNC, OLDINDEX, NOOPTIONAL-FILE, RETRYLOCK and ALIGN"2" immediately.
RM"ANSI" sets SEQUENTIAL"RECORD", NOTRUNC, OLDINDEX, NOOPTIONAL-FILE, RETRYLOCK and ALIGN"2" immediately.
NORM sets SEQUENTIAL"RECORD", TRUNC"ANSI", NOOLDINDEX, OPTIONAL-FILE, NORETRYLOCK and ALIGN"8" immediately.
With the ANSI parameter these features behave as they do when a program is compiled in that COBOL system with the ANSI switch set. See the chapter Ryan McFarland COBOL V2.0 Syntax Support in your Language Reference for details of syntax support for Ryan McFarland COBOL V2.0.
