Listings, messages, and compiler information

The options in the following table allow your control over the listing file, as well as how and when to display compiler messages. You can use these options in conjunction with those described in Error checking and debugging to provide a more robust overview of your application when checking for errors and unexpected behavior.

Table 1. Listings and messages options
Option name	@PROCESS directive	Description
-qattr	ATTR	Produces a compiler listing that includes the attribute component of the attribute and cross-reference section of the listing.
-qflag	FLAG	Limits the diagnostic messages to those of a specified severity level or higher.
-qhelp	None.	Displays the man page of the compiler.
-qlist	LIST	Produces a compiler listing file that includes object and constant area sections.
-qlistfmt	None.	Creates a report in XML or HTML format to help you find optimization opportunities.
-qlistopt	None.	Produces a compiler listing file that includes all options in effect at the time of compiler invocation.
-qmaxerr	MAXERR	Stops compilation when the number of error messages of a specified severity level or higher reaches a specified number.
-qphsinfo	PHSINFO	Reports the time taken in each compilation phase to standard output.
-qnoprint	None.	Prevents the compiler from creating the listing file, regardless of the settings of other listing options.
-qreport	None.	Produces listing files that show how sections of code have been optimized.
-qslmtags	None.	Controls whether SLM Tags logging tracks compiler license usage.
-qsource	SOURCE	Produces a compiler listing file that includes the source section of the listing and provides additional source information when printing error messages.
-qsuppress	None.	Prevents specific informational or warning messages from being displayed or added to the listing file, if one is generated.
-qversion	None.	Displays the version and release of the compiler being invoked.
-qxref	XREF	Produces a compiler listing that includes the cross-reference component of the attribute and cross-reference section of the listing.
-V	None.	The same as -v except that you can cut and paste directly from the display to create a command.
-v	None.	Reports the progress of compilation, by naming the programs being invoked and the options being specified to each program.
-w	None.	Suppresses warning messages (equivalent to -qflag=e:e).
