Definition
PUBLICS causes the public symbol records to be kept in the object file and the
corresponding information to be placed in the print file. Public symbol records are
needed to resolve external symbol definitions in other files. The EXCEPT sub-
control allows you to modify the control. Public records are used by LINK86 to
resolve external references.
Notes
•
The scope of PUBLICS can be modified by PRINTCONTROLS and
OBJECTCONTROLS.
•
Unless BIND is specified PUBLICS/NOPUBLICS affect only the object file.
•
NOPUBLICS will decrease the size of the output object file.
