Masking land in Sentinel 2 images

Hi All,
I was trying to put off landmask option in my Sentinel-2 image processing with l2gen via the command line using:

maskland=off

but seems not working as land area is still being masked. Any pointer please?

Try running l2gen with these parameters:

maskland=off
proc_ocean=2

The setting "proc_ocean=2" treats the world as if the entire surface is ocean and at sea-level.  Note: for interior lakes and seas not at sea-level the geolocation will be wrong for non nadir viewing satellite geometries due to not applying the orthorectification correction.
