Sets the compatibility mode for the current code module. This changes the functionality of various DataBasic statements and functions to match that of the selected MultiValue system. Refer to MultiValue Compatibility for details.
$OPTIONS {system}
system One of the following keywords, representing the required MultiValue system:
| Value | MultiValue System |
|---|---|
| REALITY | Reality |
| EXT | Reality (extended) |
| AP | Advanced Pick |
| D3 | D3 |
| GA | GA Pick |
| IN2 | IN2 |
| MVBASE | mvBase |
| MVENTERPRISE | mvEnterprise |
| PICK | R83 |
| PRIME | Prime Information |
| PWR95 | Power 95 |
| R83 | R83 |
If system is omitted or no $OPTIONS system statement is present in the module, DataBasic operates in REALITY mode.
Only a single MultiValue system can be selected. However, additional $OPTIONS statements can be used to select compiler options.
Unless used in an automatically included module, the effect of a $OPTIONS statement is local to the module in which it appears. If used in a subroutine, any previous $OPTIONS settings are restored on return to the calling module.
