Syntax
[GLOBAL] OPTION
option_list
Parameters
GLOBAL Allowed only if the statement is in the main program.
If GLOBAL appears, the statement is a GLOBAL OPTION
statement; if GLOBAL is omitted, the statement is an
OPTION statement. A GLOBAL OPTION statement affects
every program unit in the program. An OPTION statement
affects only the program unit that contains it.
An OPTION statement overrides a GLOBAL OPTION statement,
but only while the program unit that contains it is
running.
option-list
A list of one to five unique options separated by
commas. Each option can be one of each of the following
pairs:
DECIMAL or REAL
INIT or NOINIT
DECLARE or NODECLARE
BASE 0 or BASE 1
TRACE or NOTRACE
With GLOBAL specified, one of the following additional
options can also be specified:
MAIN
SUBPROGRAM
MAIN NONEWCOM
MAIN NEWCOM
SUBPROGRAM NONEWCOM
SUBPROGRAM NEWCOM
The term "OPTION
x
statement" where
x
is DECIMAL, REAL, INIT, NOINIT,
DECLARE, NODECLARE, TRACE, NOTRACE MAIN, or SUBPROGRAM means an OPTION or
GLOBAL OPTION statement that contains the OPTION
x
. For example, the
line
120 GLOBAL OPTION BASE 1, REAL, NOINIT, NODECLARE
can be called a GLOBAL OPTION statement, an OPTION BASE statement, an
OPTION REAL statement, an OPTION NOINIT statement, or an OPTION NODECLARE
statement.
If a program unit contains conflicting OPTION
x
statements, then the
option active in the subunit is determined by the OPTION or GLOBAL OPTION
statement with the highest line number. An OPTION statement can reset
the same option that a GLOBAL OPTION statement has set in the main
program.
The following are the default options for a program unit without an
OPTION statement:
REAL
INIT
NODECLARE
BASE 0
