Note. The accelerator defines memory-exact points at the beginning of most statements and
at other locations where necessary. When the input object file to the accelerator contains
symbols, the accelerator uses this information to determine the location of source statements.
When a program does not contain symbols, locations at which the environment register RP
field is 7 are treated as statement delimiters.
