CODE Statement

Syntax: CODE [attribute...]

This statement defines the default attributes for code segments within the application or library. One or more attributes can appear following the CODE statement:

PRELOAD or LOADONCALL

Sets when code segment is loaded

Note: OS/2 2.x ignores the preload attribute.

EXECUTEONLY or EXECUTEREAD
Sets read/execute status
IOPL or NOIOPL
Sets I/O privilege
CONFORMING or NONCONFORMING
Determines segment conformance

Attribute Rules:

• Only one attribute from each pair appears. If you specify neither attribute from a pair, LINK386 supplies the default, listed second in each pair above.

• Attributes can appear in any order.

Example

The following example sets defaults for module code segments so they have I/O hardware privilege and are not loaded until accessed.

CODE LOADONCALL IOPL
