PERFORMOPT

Determines if the Compiler should optimize out code to PERFORM empty paragraphs in generated native code.

Note: This directive is supported for native COBOL only.

Syntax:

>>-.---.--PERFORMOPT---------------------><
   +-/-+

Parameters:

None

Properties:

Default:	PERFORMOPT
Phase:	Generate
$SET:	Initial

Comments:

For greatest efficiency the Compiler normally does not generate code for a PERFORM statement that references an empty paragraph. If you require the code to be left in, for example for timing purposes, specify NOPERFORMOPT.
