We need to compile the business layer of our code using the OxygeneCodeProvider and we need to specify the following Compatibility Options:

- Allow globals
- Allow legacy ‘width’
- Allow implicit var/out in method calls
- Allow Delphi compatibility syntax
- Use Delphi compatible division operators

I specify the following CompilerOptions: “-allowglobals:yes -allowlegacywith:yes -delphicompatibility:yes”

How can I specify the following options?

- Allow implicit var/out in method calls
- Use Delphi compatible division operators

Sorry, I just found -allowimplicitout, so, only “Use Delphi compatible division operators” remains open.  
How can this option be passed to OxygeneCodeProvider?

Curious timing. I’ve actually rewritten this the other day so now it supports _all_ options Elements.exe supports. That’s for fridays beta (or if things don’t go exactly the way I want, the one after that).

so in vnext you can do something like:

```auto
--allowlegacywith --allowglobals --delphicompatibility --delphidivide --allowimplicitout

```

I hope that helps.

Great! Thanx.

Hi Carlo

I installed RemObjects Elements - 8.3.90.1927.exe today, but could not find the --delphidivide switch.

elements.exe shows:

```

But no -delphidivide switch.  
Did I get something wrong?

no you didn’t. That will probably be the _next_ build.
