Strings being defined in a class are placed in a COBOL-specific backing file, where they are converting into strings at run
time.
Use this directive to circumvent the limit on the number of strings that can be defined within a class file.
Restriction: This directive is supported for
JVM COBOL, but not native COBOL.
Syntax:
>>---ILSTRINGLOAD"value"-----><
Parameters:
value can be one of:
- 0
- Strings are created as normal, and so could be susceptible to the limits imposed on the number of strings defined in a class
file.
- 1
- Strings are created in a COBOL-specific file, and then converted into strings at run time.
Properties:
| Default:
|
ILSTRINGLOAD"0"

| $SET

Comments:
When the limit on the number of strings is exceeded, a
COBCH2353 JVM constant pool limit exceeded - try compiling with directive ilstringload(1) error is generated.
