DOS_WATCOM_10

This variable has meaning only on Extended MS-DOS systems. It controls how the C clock ( ) function returns values when used with the Watcom C compiler, Version 10.0. Versions prior to ACUCOBOL-GT 5.0, use the Watcom C compiler, Version 10.0, rather than Watcom C Version 11.0. With Version 10.0, the C clock ( ) function returns values based on a different clock rate than Version 11.0. If you re-link the runtime with the earlier version of the Watcom C compiler, this can affect the way ACCEPT statements time out.

When the DOS_WATCOM_10 variable is used, the runtime attempts to work around this difference. Set the variable to "1" (on, true, yes). The default is "0" (off, false, no).
