This option is only for PL/1 users.

Adabas Pre-Compiler takes the default (Y or N) from the PL/1 generation defaults in Predict. You can change the default by using the @OPTIONS statement or the @ADADCL options, if the database administrator allows such a change.

If just STATIC is specified, that means STATIC=Y. If STATIC=Y, Adabas Pre-Compiler generates the definitions of all the buffers with STATIC. You can use this in external subroutines that need to keep buffer contents between calls.
