option

is an ld option to be passed to the ld utility. For information about ld options, see

the ld Manual.

LESS-CODE

LESS-CODE determines whether the program generates code that initializes the

Working-Storage Section or Extended-Storage Section or uses a system call to

initialize the Extended-Storage Section. Using a system call reduces the size of the

program’s object code, but takes a significantly longer time to execute because it must

perform a read operation. Use LESS-CODE only for a program that is rarely called.

Note. The COBOL85 compiler does not accept this directive.

Default: None

Placement: In the command line

Scope: Applies to the compilation unit

Dependencies: None

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