Directives by Category
The categories of Compiler/Generator directives are as follows:
* Allowing language features
* Choosing run-time behavior
* Compiler control
* Compiling for debugging
* Format of your data files
* Object code, size and optimization
* Reserved directives
In the following lists, an asterisk (*) by a directive means you need an
add-on product before you can use it. If you use it without the
appropriate add-on product, no error message is given, but the directive
does not have the desired effect.
Allowing Language Features
These directives change the language features your compiler will accept.
