See Scope - OpenESQL SQL Compiler Directive Options for more information.

Comments:

The default delimiter overridden is the delimiter used in by output type parameter specified for the TIME directive, if set. For example, if TIME=JIS, the default delimiter is a colon (:).

When using the HCOSS DIALECT directive without the TIME directive, the default delimiter overridden is one of the following, depending on the parameter specified for the DIALECT directive:

DIALECT setting	Default delimiter
MAINFRAME	dot (.)
All other settings	dash (-)
