Syntax options: FORWARD_REFERENCES | NOFORWARD_REFERENCES The EXPORT interchange file contains declarations of all routines that will be referenced by other definitions. The default is to declare the interfaces to those routines prior to creating domains, tables, views, triggers, functions, procedures and modules that may need them. The default is FORWARD_REFERENCES. Use NO FORWARD_REFERENCES to disable these declarations. However, this may result in definition failures during the IMPORT. If you include the FORWARD_REFERENCES option on the IMPORT command line then informational messages will be generated for each declared routine.
