System Generation Compiler › Compiler-Directive Statements › SET OPTIONS Statement

SET OPTIONS Statement

The SET OPTIONS statement establishes processing options for the current system generation compiler session. The processing options determine:

• Disposition of ADD statements issued for existing entities
• Format of and information included in displayed or punched entity definitions
• Format of compiler input and output
• End-of-file indicator
• Quotation mark

Processing options remain in effect until explicitly changed by a SET OPTIONS statement. You can override the processing options that affect displayed and punched definitions in the individual entity statements. You cannot override any other compiler processing options on an individual basis.

Processing Options You Can Change

The following table lists the installation defaults for processing options that can be changed by the system generation compiler SET OPTIONS statement.
