OPTION

The CICS preprocessor OPTION option enables you to specify how to handle unsupported options of CICS functions.
OPTION=ABEND
Requests that unsupported functions result in an abend at run time.
OPTION=NOOP
Requests that unsupported functions are treated as comments (that is, ignored by the preprocessor).
OPTION=IGNORE
Requests that unsupported functions are ignored at run time.

The default is that the CICS preprocessor treats unsupported CICS options as Compiler errors.
