FASTLINK

Tells the Compiler that the parameters in the USING clauses of the Procedure Division statement and each ENTRY statement conform to certain restrictions. This enables it to produce faster code.

This directive is supported in native COBOL only.

This directive can be used with 32-bit x86 platforms only.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.----.--FASTLINK------------------><
   +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None

Properties:

Default:	NOFASTLINK
Phase:	Generate
$SET:	Initial

Comments:

The parameters must be in the same order on every entry point. This order does not have to be the same order as the order in which they appear as 01-level items in the Linkage Section.
The program must be compiled with the NOFIXOPT and NOTYPECHECK Compiler directives
