Syntax options: DEPRECATE NODEPRECATE The DEPRECATE and NODEPRECATE qualifiers specify whether or not the SQL module processor writes diagnostic messages about deprecated features. Deprecated features are currently allowed features that will not be allowed in future versions of SQL; that is, they will be obsolete. For example, one deprecated feature is the use of obsolete keywords such as VERB_TIME instead of VERB TIME. A complete list of deprecated features appears on line in the interactive SQL Help utility. You can specify the WARN=WARNING qualifier if you prefer to have all warning messages except those about deprecated features. You can specify the WARN=(NOWARNING, DEPRECATE) qualifier if you prefer only the deprecated feature messages. The WARN qualifier alone is equivalent to the WARN=(WARNING, DEPRECATE) qualifier, which means that SQL writes informational and warning messages, plus messages about deprecated features. The NOWARN qualifier alone is equivalent to the WARN=(NOWARNING, NODEPRECATE) qualifier, which means that SQL does not write any messages.
