     This directive only affects .OBJ files.
 
     With NOLITLINK, the compiler declares as public symbols only
     those literals that begin with the underscore character. If your
     program calls a non-COBOL procedure whose name does not begin
     with an underscore, you must either specify LITLINK or precede
     the name with two underscores to ensure the procedure gets linked
     to your program.
