>The former overrides the latter. It seems to me that is backwards. Disclaimer! I worked with C, not C++. What you said is a discovery at least to me. I also find it ghastly backward. At least in other languages, you can setup your compile parameters globally somewhere and then override them inside your source one by one. Question - with what C / C++ compiler did you experience that weirdo setup? On what z/Os version? >I would like to specify PARM=FOO globally and specify #pragma OPTIONS ( NOFOO >) in the one module. Doesn't that sound reasonable? It is reasonable. You give some global compile options and use exceptions on some of your source listings. That I learned the hard cruel way when I tried out Turbo C.
