Default

OBJECT

Abbreviations

OBJ / NOOBJ

Restrictions

You cannot specify this option on *PROCESS statements.

OBJECT

Instructs the assembler to generate object code and write it to the object data set. You define the object data set with the SYSLIN ddname, on z/OS and CMS, or with the IJSYSLN file name and by assigning SYSLNK on z/VSE.

NOOBJECT

Instructs the assembler not to write the object code to SYSLIN, on z/OS and CMS, or SYSLNK on z/VSE.

On z/VSE, you can only specify the OBJECT option by using the LINK or CATAL option on the JCL OPTION statement. If you specify OBJECT on the PARM operand of the JCL EXEC statement, the assembler issues message ASMA400W, and ignores the option.
