CCSIDG
An integer specifying the coded character set identifier (CCSID) to be used for double byte characters in character column definitions (without a specific CCSID clause) in CREATE and ALTER TABLE SQL statements. This DRDA precompile/bind option is not supported by DB2. The DRDA server will use a system defined default value if this option is not specified.
CCSIDM
An integer specifying the coded character set identifier (CCSID) to be used for mixed byte characters in character column definitions (without a specific CCSID clause) in CREATE and ALTER TABLE SQL statements. This DRDA precompile/bind option is not supported by DB2. The DRDA server will use a system defined default value if this option is not specified.
CCSIDS
An integer specifying the coded character set identifier (CCSID) to be used for single byte characters in character column definitions (without a specific CCSID clause) in CREATE and ALTER TABLE SQL statements. This DRDA precompile/bind option is not supported by DB2. The DRDA server will use a system defined default value if this option is not specified.
CHARSUB
Designates the default character sub-type that is to be used for column definitions in CREATE and ALTER TABLE SQL statements. This DRDA precompile/bind option is not supported by DB2.
COLLECTION

DECDEL
Designates whether a period (.) or a comma (,) will be used as the decimal point indicator in decimal and floating point literals. This DRDA precompile/bind option is not supported by DB2. The DRDA server will use a system defined default value if this option is not specified.
DEFERRED_PREPARE
Provides a performance enhancement when accessing DB2 common server databases or DRDA databases. This option combines the SQL PREPARE statement flow with the associated OPEN, DESCRIBE, or EXECUTE statement flow to minimize inter-process or network flow.

FUNCPATH
Specifies the function path to be used in resolving user-defined distinct types and functions in static SQL. If this option is not specified, the default function path is:
GENERIC
Provides a means of passing new bind options to a target DRDA database. Each option must be separated by one or more spaces and enclosed in double quotes. For example:
GEN-HV-FROM-GROUP
Generates host variables for all elementary data items when a multiple-level group variable is used in a FETCH or singleton SELECT DB2 statement.
GEN-INIT-FLAG
Generates the SQL-INIT-FLAG variable for DB2 for OS/390 compatibility. The flag is updated when the SQL environment is initialized. If you define this variable in your application, compile your application with this directive set to NOGEN-INIT-FLAG and the variable will not be generated by the precompiler.
GEN-SQLCA
Generates an SQLCA set of program variables equivalent to coding an EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA statement in an application program.
HCO
Causes the DB2 ECM to execute in MFHCO mode, enabling the use of CHARSET EBCDIC, as well as supporting some mainframe DB2 SQL syntax.
HOSTVAR
Enables the precompiler to compile a program when host variables are defined on multiple lines. If host variables are defined on multiple lines, the precompiler generates a COBDB0100S error. If this error occurs, compile the program using DB2(HOSTVAR).
HSFTRACE
Generates calls around each SQL statement to the HSF trace routine. In some cases, the application must be linked with mfsqlSMF.lib.
IGNORE-NESTED
In nested programs, specifies the program-id at which to start generating DB2 interface code. Any nested program encountered before the program-id is ignored and no DB2 interface code is generated. You must specify a program-id in the COBOL source code; otherwise, a compile error results. If you specify IGNORE-NESTED without a parameter, the program-id defaults to the program name with the filename extension replaced by .CBL.
IMMEDIATE
A synonym for directive CALL_RESOLUTION=IMMEDIATE.
IMMEDWRITE
Specifies whether or not to immediately write updates made to group buffer pool dependent pagesets or database partitions.
INIT
Generates a CONNECT statement and/or exit handling code to ensure rollback to the last commit point in the case of an abnormal termination.
INSERT
Allows a program being precompiled or bound against a DB2 Enterprise Server Edition server to request that data inserts be buffered to increase performance.
ISOLATION
Determines how far a program bound to this package can be isolated from the effect of other executing programs. For more information about isolation levels, see the IBM DB2 SQL Reference.
KEEPDYNAMIC
Specifies whether or not to keep dynamic SQL statements after commit points.
LANGLEVEL
For more information about this option, see the IBM DB2 Application Programming Guide.
LEVEL
Defines the level of a module using the consistency token. The consistency token is any alphanumeric value up to 8 characters in length. The RDB package consistency token verifies that the requester's application and the relational database package are synchronized.
MSGAREA
Specifies the name of an alphanumeric data item. If this item is present in the program source it will automatically contain a description of a DB2 error condition (when SQLCODE is non zero).
MULTI-NESTED
Enables the preprocessor to handle nested EXEC SQL INCLUDE statements.
NOT
Specifies the character code to use for NOT character (¬).
OPTPROFILE
Specifies the name of an existing optimization profile to be used for all static statements in the package.
OPTHINT
Specifies whether or not to use query optimization hints for static SQL.
OPTPER
Causes the DB2 ECM to optimize the performance of CHARSET"EBCDIC" processing.
OS400NAMING
Specifies which naming option is to be used when accessing DB2 for System i® data.
OWNER
Designates a 30-character authorization identifier for the package owner. The owner must have the privileges required to execute the SQL statements in the package. The default is the primary authorization ID of the precompile/bind process if this option has not been explicitly specified.
PASS
Supplies login credentials required to connect to a DB2 database.
PRE
Enables DB2 programs to be animated or executed by pre-loading DB2 API routine entry points. Specify NOPRE if creating an executable or shared object file; otherwise, you may have link problems.
QUALFIX
Causes the DB2 ECM to append three characters to the name of the host variables when declaring them to DB2. This ensures problems caused by qualification (where two or more host variables have identical names when not qualified) are avoided but has the side-effect that DB2 error messages sometimes display the names of host variables with the three additional characters appended to them.
QUALIFIER
Provides a 128-character implicit qualifier for unqualified table names, views, indexes, and aliases contained in the package. The default is the owner's authorization ID.
QUALIFY-CALL
Works with the DB2 QUALIFIER directive to modify EXEC SQL CALL statements by attaching the schema name to the stored procedure name.
QUERYOPT
Indicates the desired level of optimization for all static SQL statements contained in the package.
RELEASE
Indicates whether resources are released at each COMMIT point, or when the application terminates. This DRDA precompile/bind option is not supported by DB2.
REOPT
Specifies whether or not to have DB2 optimize an access path using values for host variables, parameter markers, global variables, and special registers.
REPLVER
Replaces a specific version of a package. The version identifier specifies which version of the package is to be replaced. Maximum length is 254 characters. REPLVER must follow immediately after ACTION=REPLACE or RETAIN if specified.
RETAIN
Indicates whether EXECUTE authorities are to be preserved when a package is replaced. If ownership of the package changes, the new owner grants the BIND and EXECUTE authority to the previous package owner.
SAVE-RETURN-CODE
When calling DB2 LUW functions, specifies whether or not to save and then restore RETURN-CODE.
SORTSEQ
Specifies which sort sequence table to use on the System i system.
SQLERROR
Indicates whether to create a package or a bind file if an error is encountered.
SQLFLAG
Identifies and reports on deviations from the SQL language syntax specified.
SQLRULES
Specifies whether type 2 CONNECTs are to be processed according to the DB2 rules or the Standard (STD) rules based on ISO/ANS SQL92.
SQLWARN
Indicates whether warnings will be returned from the compilation of dynamic SQL statements (via PREPARE or EXECUTE IMMEDIATE), or from describe processing (via PREPARE...INTO or DESCRIBE). This DB2 precompile/bind option is not supported by DRDA.
STATICREADONLY
Determines whether or not static cursors are treated as READ ONLY.
STRDEL
Designates whether an apostrophe (') or double quotation marks (") will be used as the string delimiter within SQL statements. This DRDA precompile/bind option is not supported by DB2. The DRDA server will use a system defined default value if this option is not specified.
SYNCPOINT
Specifies how commits or rollbacks are to be coordinated among multiple database connections.
TEMPORAL-HISTORY
Specifies whether or not changes to data in system-period temporal tables made by static or dynamic SQL statements make changes to the corresponding history table.
TEXT
The description of a package. Maximum length is 255 characters. The default value is blanks. This DRDA precompile/bind option is not supported by DB2.
TRANSFORM-GROUP
Specifies the transform group name to be used for static SQL. This is a SQL identifier up to 18 characters in length.
UDB-VERSION
Specifies the version of DB2 Database for Linux, UNIX, and Windows (LUW) you want to use.
VALIDATE
Determines when the database manager checks for authorization errors and object not found errors. The package owner authorization ID is used for validity checking.
VERSION
Defines the version identifier for a package. The version identifier is any alphanumeric value, $, #, @, _, -, or ., up to 254 characters in length.
XAID
Simplifies working with multiple XARs of the DB2 RM type defined in a single enterprise server region.
