Title: (Paraphrase problem in a
single statement)Enhance support for
specifying pre-compiler options and overrides.
Detailed
Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)
Options that drive the DB2
pre-processor can be specified in only 1 of 2 ways, but not combined: 1) a
source member 2) individual parms in the PARM= clause of // EXEC. There needs
to be a way to override certain parms in the source member, just like you can
do in the dB server startup init parms.
Priority: (Select one: Urgent
- High - Medium - Low)

Ease of Use, Feature/Function
Business
Justification: (Why? Non-technical
business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem
Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your
company, and the vendor and others?
Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)
There are cases where I need to execute a DB2
compile with different pre-compiler options, in particularly a special compile
that will not replace the current package (NOPACKAGE). Today, in order to
accomplish this, I must maintain 2 sets of pre-compiler options (2 source
members) - one with NOPACKAGE and one without.
Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a
vendors ability to deliver a solution)
Allow the same flexibility that is available in
the startup initialization parms - a source member containing defaults can be
specified but any one of them may be overridden by specifying the parm again on
the command line (PARM= clause of // EXEC).
Impact: (Optional) (How
will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
I can provide better options to the programmers
for re-compiling programs without destroying packages AND without creating a
maintenance nightmare for myself.
