ILE COBOL Language Reference
- NOSYNC indicates that the SYNCHRONIZED clause is syntax checked
only. NOSYNC is the default value.
- SYNC indicates that the SYNCHRONIZED clause is compiled by the
compiler. The SYNCHRONIZED clause causes the position of a data item to
be aligned such that the right-hand (least-significant) end is on the natural
storage boundary. Extra storage is reserved adjacent to the
synchronized item to achieve this alignment. Each elementary data item
that is described as SYNCHRONIZED is aligned to the natural storage boundary
that corresponds to its data storage assignment.
