The NAME compiler option (can be used from PARM, from CBL/PROCESS source 
statement) does generate binder/linkage-editor control statements.

I don't think that it would be at all a good idea to have "arbitrary" 
binder/linkage-editor inserted by a programmer. There's too much that could be 
done, deliberately or by accident.
