# we, Qwe

## Arguments

Ln | Is the number of the diagnostic to be changed.

## Default

OFF | The compiler returns soft diagnostics as usual.

## Description

This option overrides the severity of the soft diagnostic that corresponds to the specified number and changes it to an error.

If you specify more than one Ln, each Ln must be separated by a comma.
