The parameters passed to the link-edit utility include the default link-edit parameters (LET, LIST, and XREF) and load module attributes (such as RENT, REUS, REFR, AMODE=24). SMP/E determines the attributes and parameters to be passed as follows:

• If SMP/E has determined that the binder is available on the system and SMP/E is processing CSECT deletes, the STORENX link-edit parameter is passed to the link-edit utility.
• If the load module was link-edited during initial installation, the link-edit parameters saved in the LMOD entry are used.
• If the load module was copied during initial installation (that is, the LMOD COPY indicator is on):
  • If LEPARM is specified on the ++MOD statement, the attributes supplied are used, and the corresponding target zone LMOD entry is updated (or created) with these attributes.
  • If LEPARM is not specified, SMP/E checks the following for link-edit attributes, in the order indicated, and passes the attributes that it finds:
    1. A target zone LMOD entry containing link-edit attributes
    2. An LKLIB data set or SMPTLIB data set containing the load module, if one is available from another SYSMOD that is in process
    3. The target library that is supposed to contain the load module

    If the load module or its link-edit attributes are not found in any of the places indicated, no load module attributes are passed to the link-edit utility unless the user has set some in the UTILITY entry for link-edit processing.

• If a link-edit UTILITY entry is in effect, the defaults are not passed to the link-edit utility. The values in the UTILITY entry are used instead.
• When the LMOD entry for the load module contains a CALLLIBS subentry, SMP/E uses CALL for the link to the actual target library or NCAL for link to the SMPLTS library, regardless of whether a UTILITY entry is in effect.
