CSECTCUT

The CSECTCUT option controls how the compiler, when processing the CSECT option, handles long names.

The CSECTCUT option has no effect unless you specify the CSECT option. It also has no effect if the "package name" used by the CSECT option has 7 or fewer characters.

The value n in the CSECTCUT option must be between 0 and 7.

If the "package name" used by the CSECT option has more than 7 characters, the compiler will collapse the name to 7 characters by taking the first n and last 7 - n characters.

For example, consider a compilation consisting of one procedure with the name BEISPIEL:

• Under CSECTCUT(3), the compiler collapses the name to BEIPIEL.
• Under CSECTCUT(4), the compiler collapses the name to BEISIEL.
