EXECOPS
Specifies that you can enter runtime options on the command line. Language Environment parses the argument string to separate runtime options from application arguments. The runtime options are interpreted by Language Environment and the application arguments are passed to the application.
NOEXECOPS
Specifies that you cannot enter runtime options on the command line. Language Environment passes the entire argument string to the application.
