PPLITLINK

Makes the Compiler declare literals as public symbols, in a SET statement using a data item defined as USAGE IS PROCEDURE-POINTER. This means literals are resolved at link time rather than run time. (Symbol references defined in this way are referred to as litlinked.)

Note: This directive is supported for native COBOL only.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.------PPLITLINK-------.-----><
   +-/-+ +-----NOPPLITLINK------+

Parameters:

None.

Properties:

Default:	Current PPLITLINK setting
Phase:	Generate
$SET:	Initial

Comments:

This directive only affects object code files.

With NOPPLITLINK, literals are not declared as public symbols for SET statements that use a data item defined as USAGE IS PROCEDURE-POINTER.
