Apparently I have to be 100% EXACT with anything I say on this list.

Okay.  The compiler will generate code which is added to your *PGM object.
When your program object is run, that code will be run, and the data area
will be locked.

Is that better?

Incidentally, since we're nit picking today, it's "program" not
"programme", and it's "areas" not "areas."

Humans are not always 100% exact in every single thing they say.  Have
mercy upon me!
