Improve CRTSQL* Error Reporting

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Changing our software to exploit Teraspace we encountered a build failure where the error message reported was: Compile option TERASPACE specified twice.

We were using the CRTSQLCI command and specified TERASPACE only once via the COMPILEOPT parameter string.

It transpires through raising a PMR with IBM that if the size of the LOB variables approaches 15Mb the pre-compiler will add the TERASPACE parameter to the compile command on the subsequent CRTCMOD command.

First suggestion is that the pre-compiler checks for the existence of the TERASPACE, and possible others that may be added "under the covers", BEFORE adding the parameter values to the CRTCMOD command.

Second suggestion is that the error message be more specific as to why TERASPACE has been added, probably a warning message now if the first suggestion is taken on board.


Use Case:

Better error reporting will result in less time spent trying to get to the root cause of the error reported.

In order to resolve this issue I had to raise a PMR with IBM support and go through various email exchanges over several days, thus delaying the delivery of the software to our QA team.
