Requesting loader options
Table 1 shows you which options you can specify as PARM parameters when running the loader. The underlined options are the defaults.
| Option | Function |
|---|---|
| MAP | NOMAP | Specifies if a map of the executable program is produced on SYSPRINT. If the map is produced, it gives the length and location of the main routine and all subroutines. |
| LET | NOLET | Specifies if the loader allows the executable program to run, even when abnormal conditions have been detected. |
| CALL | NOCALL | Specifies if the loader attempts to resolve external references. |
| EP=name | Specifies the name of the entry point of the application being loaded. |
| PRINT | NOPRINT | Specifies if loader messages are listed in the data set defined by the SYSLOUT DD statement. |
| RES | NORES | Specifies if the link pack area should be searched to resolve external references. |
| SIZE=size | Specifies the amount of storage allocated by loader processing; size includes the size of your executable program. |
When you run the loader, you can request the options shown in Table 1 using the PARM parameter of the EXEC statement. For more information about specifying and using loader options, see z/OS MVS Program Management: User's Guide and Reference and z/OS MVS Program Management: Advanced Facilities.
