Table 1. Selected loader options
Option Action
CALL | NOCALL CALL specifies that the data set specified in the LIB operand is to be searched to locate executable programs referred to by the module being processed.

NOCALL specifies that the data set specified in the LIB operand is not to be searched to locate executable programs referred to by the module being processed. If NOCALL is specified, then RES is invalid.

SIZE(integer) Specifies the size, in bytes, of the dynamic storage that the loader can use.
PRINT (data_set_name) PRINT specifies the name of the data set that is used to contain the listing. You can direct output to the terminal by specifying PRINT(*).
MAP | NOMAP MAP generates a map of the executable programs and places them in the PRINT data set.

NOMAP suppresses the map listing.

LET | NOLET LET specifies that the loader attempts to execute your application even if an error of severity 2 or greater is found.

NOLET suppresses execution if an error of severity 2 or greater is found.

RES | NORES RES specifies that the link pack area is to be searched for the executable program (referred to by the module being processed) before the specified libraries are searched. If you also specify the NOCALL operand, the RES option is not valid.

NORES specifies that the link pack area is not to be searched for the executable program referred to by the module being processed.
