COMMENTS
Definition
COMMENTS allows object file comment records to remain in the output module.
The NOCOMMENTS control removes all comment records except those designated
as nonpurgable.
Comment records are added to the object module for various reasons. All
translators add a comment record, identifying the compiler or assembler that pro-
duced it.
Comment records are superfluous to the production of executable code and may be
removed at any time during the development process.
Notes
•
See PURGE, PRINTCONTROLS and OBJECTCONTROLS.
•
COMMENT records should not be removed when you submit an object file in a
Software Problem Report.
•
NOCOMMENTS will decrease the size of the output object file.
