If your assembly produced an object module in a data set called PROGRAM1.OBJ, issue the following LINK command at your terminal:

LINK PROGRAM1

The program module is placed by default in member TEMPNAME of a partitioned data set, or PDSE program library called userid.PROGRAM1.LOAD. If you want to put the program module in a different data set, issue the following LINK command:

LINK PROGRAM1 LOAD(data-set-name(member-name))

where data-set-name is a program library, and member-name is the name of the program module.

The following example shows how to link two object modules and place the resulting program module in member TEMPNAME of the userid.LM.LOAD data set:

LINK PROGRAM1,PROGRAM2 LOAD(LM)

If your program refers to other modules (that is, external references), you can instruct the binder to search for them by including the LIB parameter on the LINK command. The LIB parameter specifies one or more names of library data sets to search. For example:

LINK PROGRAM1 LIB('SALESLIB.LIB.SUBRT2')

This request searches library SALESLIB.LIB.SUBRT2.
