Makes the Compiler declare literals as public symbols, in a SET statement using a data item defined as USAGE IS PROCEDURE-POINTER. This means literals are resolved at link time rather than run time. (Symbol references defined in this way are referred to as litlinked.)
Note: This directive is supported for native COBOL only.
