That is how the C/C++ compiler works. PARM='OPTF(DD:SYSOPTF)' or any other

Enterprise PL/I allows multiple DD names, like:
//IBMZPLI EXEC PGM=IBMZPLI,
// REGION=0M,
// PARM=('+DD:PLISTD +DD:PLIDB2 +DD:PLCICS +DD:PLIUSER')
which allows a site to set up defaults, but still giving the user a chance to
override things. Works like a charm!
=DD:PLISTD could be set up to point to the IBMXOnnn members now conveniently
added to the hlq.SIBMZSAM dataset containing such members for all still
supported versions of Enterprise PL/I, an RFE
<https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=80836>
yours truly suggested and that was implemented with EPLI V5.1.0
And for what it's worth, a SuperC compare of the various members will also show
all options that have been altered/added with every release of EPLI.

Subject: Re: Question for COBOL users
Our shop currently uses OPTFILE in conjunction with the SQL compiler option
in order to supply particular SQL "compile" options to the SQL precompiler
for those COBOL program that have EXEC SQL statements. This allows us to 1)
avoid having a separate "DB2 batch" and "DB2 CICS" procs. We simply use our
"standard" batch and CICS compile procs, and the SQL preprocessor is invoked
if the source code has "PROCESS SQL OPTFILE" at the top. Our "SYSOPTF" has
the following:
SQL('STDSQL(YES) SQL(ALL) VERSION(AUTO)')
So the change that you suggest would indeed "break" our environment. Well,
perhaps not, because I don't think it would do any harm to supply SQL
options for programs that don't have any SQL statements, but...
My personal wish would be that OPTFILE have an option to specify one or more
DD names that it would open, rather than SYSOPTF being the only name. If
that had been available we'd probably use OPTFILE(DB2OPTF) or some such
thing. Of course that doesn't really solve your particular RFE. Sounds
like you need a new compiler option that tells the compiler to use SYSOPTF
if present, but only if the new option is specified.
