ALLOW-HYPHEN
Enables the preprocessor to allow hyphens in SQL identifiers.
APOST
Causes the preprocessor to recognize apostrophes to delimit literals for quote character in SQL statements.
AUTHID
Causes the preprocessor to include code at SQL initialization that sets the value of your current SQLID to any valid authorization ID.
AUTOBIND
Causes the preprocessor to automatically call the SQL Option Bind utility from within the debugging session after the compiler finishes generating the DBRM if no SQL errors were detected and if the DBRM preprocessor directive was set.
AUTOCLOSE
Causes the SQL Option Server to automatically open and close statements after an insert, update, or delete command.
BEHAVIOR
Causes the SQL Option preprocessor to emulate the behavior of either the DB2 preprocessor or coprocessor.
BLOCKING
Specifies the type of block fetching to use.
CHANGE-CONTROL
Controls package creation during the bind process.
COLLECTION-ID
Specifies the collection at the remote DRDA server where the package will be bound.
CONCAT
Specifies the ANSI character code to use for the CONCAT symbol (|).
COPY
Causes the precompiler to expand copybooks included in your source code using standard COBOL COPY statements. Allows EXEC SQL statements and use of host variables to be defined within a COPY statement.
CTRACE
Creates a trace file for submission to technical support if requested.
DATE
Specifies the date format to be used with this program.
DB2
Causes the SQL Option Server to return DB2 error codes and messages when compiling and running, and to close all open cursors at COMMIT and ROLLBACK (the DB2 standard).
DB2CLOSE
Causes the SQL Option Server to close all open statements and cursors at COMMIT and ROLLBACK (the DB2 standard).
DB2ERROR
Causes the SQL Option Server to return DB2 error codes and messages when the program is compiled or executed.
DB2VER
Specifies the DB2 version used by the SQL Option preprocessor for syntax checking.
DBRM
Causes the SQL Option preprocessor to produce a DBRM file.
DECLARE
Tells the preprocessor that host variables are declared in a BEGIN/END DECLARE section of a COBOL program.
DEFAULT-CHAR
Specifies character subtype for all new character columns for which an explicit subtype is not specified.
DIRECTIVES
Causes the SQL Option preprocessor to read the preprocessor directives contained in a separate user-created directives file or in the EXEC SQL options specified in the Build settings.
EXIST-CHECK
Specifies whether to create a package if some DBRM objects do not exist.
FILLSYSCAT
Causes the preprocessor to insert information about EXEC SQL statement in the program into the SYSDBRM and SYSSTMT system catalog tables when the COBOL program is compiled.
GENSQLCA
Generates a SQLCA structure in the program if none is defined.
GRANT-EXECUTE
Specifies AUTHID to grant execute privileges on the package to.
IGNORE-NESTED
Specifies in programs with nested subroutines, the program-id at which to start generating database interface code.
ISOLATION-LEVEL
Controls the way in which locks are acquired and released by the system.
LIBINCLUDE
Causes the precompiler to expand and include copybooks coded with ++INCLUDE or –INC syntax.
LOCATION
Specifies the location to which a DBRM is bound when the AUTOBIND preprocessor directive is used.
MAXSQL
Specifies the maximum number of EXEC SQL statements the preprocessor can handle.
NEVERCLOSE
This directive prevents the closing of open statements or cursors at commit or rollback.
NOFOR
Causes the SQL Option runtime not to require FOR UPDATE clause in DECLARE CURSOR statements when UPDATE CURRENT OF CURSOR is specified.
NOT
Specifies the ASCII character code to use for NOT character (¬).
OPTIMIZE
This directive optimizes the code generated by the precompiler specifically for use on either PC or mainframe.
PACKAGE-OWNER
Specifies the AuthID assigned to the package. This AuthID must have authority to execute all the SQL in the package.
PKGSET
Causes the SQL Option run-time program to send additional information to set the current package set.
QUOTE
Causes the preprocessor to recognize double quotes to delimit literals for quote character in SQL statements.
SAVE-RETURN-CODE
Causes the SQL Option precompiler to save and then restore RETURN-CODE when calling SQL Option functions
SQLDA-VER
The SQLDA structure used in the program for dynamic SQL statements.
SQLDS
Allows the SQL Option Server to accept a PREPARE statement before a DECLARE statement in your source code (which is allowed in SQL/DS)
STRICT-DB2
Enforces strict support for certain DB2 features that are generally permitted in default DB2 mode.
TIME
Specifies the time format to be used with this program.
VALIDATE
Causes the SQL Option preprocessor to verify all data objects referenced in your program's embedded SQL statements against the SQL Option system tables.
VALIDATE-ERR-LVL
Specifies the error level to use for errors produced when the VALIDATE directive is used.
VALIDATE-LOGIN
Causes the SQL Option preprocessor to ensure communications with an SQL Option Server prior to attempting to validate any SQL statements. If the log in fails, a fatal error is generated.
VERSION
Specifies the new version identifier for a replacement package.
XDBFUNCS
Allows use of all SQL Option commands (including SQL Option extensions) in embedded SQL.
