option #34

Command line syntax

WSupported on Windows

 

 

NSupported in Synergy .NET

Setting option #34 makes the runtime (dbr) and the following utilities understand a non-Unix-style command line: dbl, dblink, and dblibr.

By default, Synergy DBL supports Unix-style command line syntax on Windows with switches that follow a minus sign (-). However, when system option #34 is set, Synergy DBL recognizes command line switches that follow a slash character (/).

In addition, if this option is set, file specifications must contain backslash characters (\) between directories and subdirectories; you cannot optionally use a slash character. Also, you must use a minus sign (-) as the line continuation character instead of a backslash in command files specified on the command line.

The following table illustrates the effects of system option #34:
