-w

Enables you to pass information to the system linker or the C compiler.

Where:

-wlxxx
Passes options to the system linker. For example:
cbllink -wl"/verbose" myCobolProg.cbl
passes myCobolProg.cbl to the compile and links it with the /verbose linker option.
-wcxxx
Passes options to the C compiler. For example:
cbllink -wc-DTAG myCProg.c
passes myCProg.c to the C compiler and compiles it with a constant called TAG.

Comments:

To pass options that include quotation marks, prefix each quotation mark with a backslash:
cbllink -wl"/verbose /opt\"1\"" myCobolProg.cbl
