      <p class="para_topic">Most Executive Control statements are order independent.  The exceptions are the COMPILE, COMPILER, ALTER, ENDALTER, and LINK statements.  If used, the LINK statement must appear after all COMPILE statements.  The COMPILER statement (or equivalent DIAGs) must appear before all COMPILE statements.  The COMPILER statement also sets the defaults for subsequent COMPILE statements. </p>
