The IBM Compiler allows the first line of a cobol program to
contain compile options by specifying
        PROCESS,opt1[,optn]...

See 
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IGYPG205/CCONTENTS
2.1.5.1 and  2.1.5.2 for a description of PROCESS.

See Chapter 2 for a list of IBM compiler options. 

Clearly many of these options can be ignored and options specified on the
compile line should override these.

Minimally, the PROCESS statement should be skipped with warnings issued
for options that will be violated if any.

For example,
        PROCESS,SQL
should warn that SQL preprocessing is not supported.
