A large application can consists of many programs; compiling all of these might take some time. To speed up the compilation process, use the following Compiler directives:
NOALTER. If your code does not have any ALTER statements, you can disable the ALTER default directive and produce slightly more efficient code and produce it more quickly.
NOCOPYLIST. If you are using the LIST directive to create a listing file, you can disable the COPYLIST default directive and prevent the Compiler from expanding the copybooks and include files in the listing. Note that compilation is quicker still if you do not create a listing.
NOLIST. This is the default. Compiling is quicker if you accept this default and do not produce a listing file.
NOQUAL. If your code does not use qualified data names, you can disable the QUAL default directive to compile more quickly. An example qualified data name is:
