PERFORMOPT

Restriction: This directive is supported in native COBOL only.

Determines if the Compiler should optimize out code to PERFORM empty paragraphs in generated native code.

Syntax:
>>-.---.--PERFORMOPT---------------------><
   +-/-+
Parameters:

None

Properties:
Default: PERFORMOPT
Phase: Generate
$SET: Initial
Comments:

For greatest efficiency the Compiler normally does not generate code for a PERFORM statement that references an empty paragraph. If you require the code to be left in, for example for timing purposes, specify NOPERFORMOPT.
