This keyword is used by old COBOL Adabas Pre-Compiler users who have their 88 constants defined as comments in Predict. This keyword causes Adabas Pre-Compiler to suffix the 88 constant names with the nnnn identification of the @ADADCL statement. Without this keyword, the 88 constants are generated exactly as they appear in the comments field in Predict field definition.

New users are recommended to use the Predict condition names and in this case this keyword is ignored. Also, old users, who have their 88 constants in the comments field, are recommended to convert them to the new supported Predict condition names and delete them from the comments.
