Controls the behavior of a called program. If FASTCALL is specified, the program does not set up information to allow it to determine whether it is a main program. The program always assumes that it is not a main program, and EXIT PROGRAM will always cause an exit to the calling program.
Note: This directive is supported for native COBOL only.

Comments:
Programs compiled with FASTCALL do not set up the information that allows further called programs to determine whether they are main programs. Thus, any program called by a program compiled with FASTCALL should itself be compiled with FASTCALL.
