Running "CODESYS V3.5 SP16", is what is mentioned in the title by design?

PROGRAM PLC_PRG

{IF defined (TEST)} {info 'TEST defined'} {ELSE} {info 'TEST not defined'} {END_IF}

Compiling the above with

yields

[INFORMATION] TestProject: PLC_PRG [Device: PLC Logic: Application](Line 4, Column 1 (Impl)): TEST not defined

whereas compiling the above with

yields

[INFORMATION] TestProject: PLC_PRG [Device: PLC Logic: Application](Line 2, Column 1 (Impl)): TEST defined

Asking because documentation at https://help.codesys.com/webapp/_cds_dlg_properties_build;product=codesys;version=3.5.17.0 says nothing about it working only for applications but not POUs
