   -standard standard_type

   Allows you to specify portable or extended features of the OSF DCE.
   This option is useful when you perform builds.  The standard_type
   argument specifies what IDL features to enable.  If you do not
   specify this argument, the compiler generates warning messages for
   all features that are not available in the previous version of OSF
   DCE.

   You can specify one of the following values for the standard_type
   argument:

   portable     Allows only the language features available in OSF DCE
                Version 1.0.2.

   dce_v10      Synonymous with the portable argument.

   dec_v10      Allows all language features supported by the standard
                dce_v10 argument, plus a set of Compaq extensions to
                its products based on OSF DCE Version 1.0.

   extended     Allows all language features supported in the current
                version of the compiler.  This is the default.

   dce_v11      Synonymous with the extended argument.

   The following example command line compiles the IDL interface test.idl
   and enables extended features of the OSF DCE:

        $ idl test.idl -standard extended
