RESPECT compile-time option

Use the RESPECT option to specify which attributes the compiler should recognize. Currently, DATE is the only selection possible for this compile-time option.

The default is RESPECT() and causes the compiler to ignore any specification of the DATE attribute. Therefore, the DATE attribute is not applied to the result of DATE built-in. NORESPECT is a synonym for RESPECT()

Specifying RESPECT(DATE), on the other hand, causes the compiler to honor any specification of the DATE attribute and to apply the DATE attribute to the result of DATE built-in.

RESPECT() is not accepted when compiling with the PLI command on TSO/MVS.
