Overriding Compiler Options

The current compiler options are stored in a template at the time the template is created. This allows subsequent updating of templates to be performed using the original compiler options.

To override the compiler options stored in a template:

Select the Compiler Language Selection option from the Options pull-down menu.
File Manager displays the Compiler Language Selection panel.
Select the Override compiler options for template update option.
Using this option causes the template update to override the compiler options stored in the template with the currently specified compiler options. It also ensures the generation of the compiler parameters for the Batch JCL generated when the Batch execution option is selected.

Note: If the template does not contain compiler options, then the compiler options used are those currently specified for the execution or the relevant defaults.
