SEARCH and NOSEARCH

adds the files that object-name-list specifies to the primary search list. (See

Primary Search List.)

NOSEARCH

clears the primary search list for the COBOL85 compiler, but is ignored by the

NMCOBOL compiler.

object-name-list

can be continued onto subsequent lines, but the left parenthesis must appear on

the same directive line as the keyword SEARCH. Each continuation line for a

SEARCH directive must have a question-mark (?) in the indicator area. If a

SEARCH directive spans multiple lines, they must be consecutive (no blank lines,

comment lines, or program text lines can intervene).

Note. The NMCOBOL compiler ignores the NOSEARCH directive and issues a warning.
