Go to the COBOL FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) - see the message
posted by Bill Klein on 2005 Apr 24.

Unfortunately nothing in this world is truly FREE. So although you can
start 'cheap' with compilers to 'play around', the final price for a
full-blown 'commercial' compiler that you can use for applications can
get expensive. Other than the 'commercial' compilers - using the COBOL
FAQ - look at the 'Open Source' compilers.

To the best of my knowledge, the ONLY compiler (or family of compilers) that
accepts a

$SET

statement are those from Micro Focus.  (Other compilers have other ways of
specifying directive - e.g.
@OPTIONS - Fujitsu
CBL or PROCESS - IBM

Therefore, you should  look at

www.microfocus.com

for information on their various compilers available for purchase (and downl
oad)

P.S.  Anyone using any of the "open source" compilers?  Do any of them take
"$SET" statements?

The name of the compiler depends on the owner.
I call my compiler Haddock's Eyes.
Right now, it's name escapes me.....

Why, so can I, or so can any other man,
But will they come when you call for them?
