| RENT | RENT | Specifies that the COBOL compiler checks for possible coding violations of program reenterability. |
| NORENT | Specifies that the COBOL compiler does not check for possible coding violations of program reenterability. | |
| DYNAM | DYNAM | Cause non-nested, separately compiled programs to be handled dynamically at run time. |
| NODYNAM | Do not cause non-nested, separately compiled programs to be handled dynamically at run time. | |
| SQL | YES | Enables the DB2 coprocessor and to specify DB2 options. |
| NO | Specify to have any SQL statements found in the source program diagnosed and discarded. | |
