This option performs the same function as INITAUTO except for BASED variables.

The INITBASED option will cause more code to be generated for any ALLOCATE of a BASED variable that is not fully initialized and will have a negative impact on performance.

The INITBASED option does not apply an INITIAL attribute to any variable declared with the NOINIT attribute.
