I suspect that program name CCNDRVR says what it is doing, and that there are underlying different versions of the compiler. Or maybe it is just a JCLish front end, like c89 for the UNIX environment.

It seems to me that using > PARM='ARCH(0),TUN(0)' would produce "backlevel" > instructions from any of the C compiler outputs, would it not? One would think so, and I thought the manual said so too. But it doesn't work - specifying ARCH(0) (or anything else lower than the default 5) gets a friendly CCN0790(S) Options "METAL" and "ARCHITECTURE(0)" are in conflict. What the book says is that METAL disables: DLL RENT XPLINK IPA HOT DFP METAL sets the following as defaults: ARCH(5) TUNE(5) CSECT HGPR(PRESERVE) FLOAT(IEEE) NOLONGNAME NODEBUG(FORMAT(DWARF),NOHOOK,SYMBOL) METAL ignores the following: TARGET INLRPT GOFF INLINE when OPTIMIZE(0) is in effect All suboptions of INLINE So when it says "sets the following as defaults", I assumed they could be overridden, but it seems not. Perhaps it should say "METAL forces the following"... Or maybe it's almost right, and it's only downlevel code generation they don't do. I haven't played with other combinations of the "sets the following as defaults" group.
