Description

The $ImportedData compiler directive is not implemented.

A reference to a global variable in a different unit ordinarily requires an extra level of indirection in case the other unit resides in a separate package. The theory is that disabling the $ImportedData directive eliminates this indirection. In practice, this directive has no effect. The compiler automatically determines whether the indirection is needed and compiles references to global variables accordingly.
