-qoption_keyword

You can specify options on the command line using the -qoption format.

                                '-suboption=argument-'
 

You can have multiple -qoptions on the same command line, but they must be separated by blanks. Option keywords can appear in either uppercase or lowercase, but you must specify the -q in lowercase.

Some compile-time options allow you to specify suboptions. These suboptions are indicated on the command line with an equal sign following the -qoption_keyword. Multiple suboptions must be separated with a colon(:) and no intervening blanks.

An option, for example, that contains multiple suboptions is RULES (RULES). To specify RULES(LAXDCL) on the command line, you would enter:

-qrules=ibm:laxdcl

The LIMITS option (LIMITS) is slightly more complex since each of its suboptions also has an argument. You would specify LIMITS(EXTNAME(31),FIXEDDEC(15)) on the command line as shown in the following example:

-qlimits=extname=31:fixeddec=15
