Default

ON The alternate syntax for PARAMETER statements is allowed.

Description

This option specifies that the alternate syntax for PARAMETER statements is allowed. The alternate syntax is:

PARAMETER c = expr [, c = expr] ...

This statement assigns a name to a constant (as does the standard PARAMETER statement), but there are no parentheses surrounding the assignment list.

In this alternative statement, the form of the constant, rather than implicit or explicit typing of the name, determines the data type of the variable.
