The SQL SET OPTION is SQL's version of the H spec.

For example:
     C/EXEC SQL
     C+ Set Option
     C+     Naming    = *Sys,
     C+     Commit    = *None,
     C+     UsrPrf    = *User,
     C+     DynUsrPrf = *User,
     C+     CloSqlCsr = *EndMod
     C/END-EXEC

Here's something you can do in a SET OPTION that you cannot do on an H spec. Why?
C/EXEC SQL
C+ Set Option
C+ TgtRls = V5R1M0
C/END-EXEC

Will wonders never cease, eh?


I don't know how the SQL prep works, but generally, the RPG command options that you can't code on the H-Spec are disallowed there because we're already knee deep into the compile already. In particular, when you specify a different release on the CRTBNDRPG or CRTRPGMOD command, a completely different program is invoked to compile the source code. Since the H-Spec's are compiled by that source code, it's meaningless to specify which version to use on the H-Spec.

I suppose when the H-Spec parsing sees that a different compiler version is requested, we could abandon the compile and tell the command to invoke a different version of compiler. But then, how would the compiler handle the following H-Specs:

H/if defined(*V5R2M0)
H   TGTRLS(*V5R1M0)
H/elseif defined(*V5R1M0)
H   TGTRLS(*V5R2M0)
H/endif
H*         ;-)
