Specifying macro and copy code libraries: SYSLIB

If you do not issue SYSLIB FILEDEF before the ASMAHL command, the ASMAHL command issues the following FILEDEF command:

FILEDEF SYSLIB DISK CMSLIB MACLIB * (RECFM FB LRECL 80 BLOCK 8000

Use the GLOBAL command to identify which CMS libraries are to be searched for macro definitions and COPY code. Private libraries and CMSLIB can be concatenated with each other in any order by the GLOBAL command. The format of this command is described in the applicable CMS Command and Macro Reference.

You can concatenate a CMS MACLIB with an OS partitioned data set. When this is required, the library with the largest blocksize must be specified first, as in the following example:

FILEDEF SYSLIB DISK MYLIB   MACLIB M DSN ATR005.MACLIB
FILEDEF SYSLIB DISK OSMACRO MACLIB S (CONCAT
GLOBAL MACLIB MYLIB OSMACRO
