Inputting object modules

The main input to the linkage editor is the SYSLNK file that contains one or more separately assembled object modules, possibly with a PHASE linkage editor control statement.

Additional input to the linkage editor consists of object modules that are not part of the SYSLNK file, but are to be included in the phase.

The additional input can come from sublibraries containing other application object modules.

You can specify which sublibrary contains the additional object modules with the LIBDEF job control statement. If you have multiple sublibraries containing object modules to be included in the phase, concatenate them, as shown in the following example:

// LIBDEF OBJ,SEARCH=(PRD2.PROD,SALES.LIB)

In this case, the sublibraries PRD2.PROD and SALES.LIB are available for additional input to the linkage editor.
