HEAP

HEAP specifies heap space size in the CRE. HEAP is useful only in the Guardian

environment and only if the program calls HP C functions that allocate heap space.

size

is an integer in the range 2048 through 2,147,483,684 that represents the number

of bytes to allocate for the CRE user heap.

HIGHPIN

HIGHPIN sets the HIGHPIN flag in an object file so that the object file can run at a high

PIN.

Note. The NMCOBOL compiler ignores this directive and issues a warning.

Default: Guardian environment: the heap is nonexistent by default.

PC and OSS environments: the heap is large by default and cannot be

made larger.

Placement: Anywhere

Scope: Applies to the compilation unit

Dependencies: Program must run in the CRE

Note. The NMCOBOL compiler ignores this directive and issues a warning. A native

HP COBOL program always runs at a high PIN.
