FASTCALL

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.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.----.--FASTCALL------------------><
   +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None

Properties:

Default:	NOFASTCALL
Phase:	Generator
$SET:	Initial

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.
