ILCUTPREFIX

Removes a specified prefix from the names of the COBOL data items in your source code.

Restriction: This directive is supported for JVM COBOL, but not native COBOL.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.------ILCUTPREFIX(prefix)--.-------><
   +-/-+ +-NOILCUTPREFIX---------------+

Parameters:

prefix: The prefix used for one or more of the data names in the source code.

Properties:

Default:	NOILCUTPREFIX
Phase:	Syntax check
$SET:	Initial

Example:

A number of the COBOL data items in your code might use a common prefix such as lnk-; for example lnk-name and so on. To make your code more readable, compile with the ILCUTPREFIX(lnk-) directive to remove all lnk- prefixes from your data items. In the compiled code, the data items will appear as name.
