Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     This directive only affects .OBJ files.
 
     Calling a program that was generated using OBJLITE is much faster than
     calling a normal program.
 
     There are some limitations to what a program generated using OBJLITE
     can do. Such a program:
 
      o  cannot use COBOL files, but can use byte-stream files
      o  cannot use any call-by-number routines
      o  cannot have more than 64K of data
      o  cannot be a main program
      o  must have any parameters to CALL statements in its Working-Storage
         Section or Local-Storage Section. Any subscripts used in these
         parameters are subject to the same restriction.
      o  cannot use the IS INITIAL clause
      o  will not always have its Data Division initialized by a CANCEL.
