Either method is appropriate  -dt # is easier for the IDE to set, -Dcm is a flag compatible with AcuCobol's usage.) -Dcm (Data compatible Micro Focus) is generally what I use from the command line. The -Dcm:b/-Dcm:w difference is only for when the code required the byte/word compiler option in the original Micro Focus code.  The -dt parameter values are:

-dt Datatype (0= LegacyJ, 1=IBM(A), 2=AcuCOBOL, 3=IBM(E), 4=HP/MPE, 5=MicroFocus)

The default value is 0

The LegacyJ IDE eases this and should be set in the IDE project settings.
