Binder processing options

Binder options can be specified in one of these ways:

In your JCL.
When you invoke the LINK or LOADGO command on TSO.

Table 1 describes some of these options.

Table 1. Link processing options
Option	Action	Comments
LET	Lets you specify the severity level of an error, to control whether the binder marks the program module as non-executable.	The LET option is used differently between the linkage editor and the binder.
MAP NOMAP	Use MAP if you want to get a map of the generated program modules. NOMAP suppresses this map listing.	The map of the program module gives the length and location (absolute addresses) of the main program and all subprograms. NOMAP is the default.
NCAL	When you use the no automatic library call option (NCAL), the binder does not search for library members to resolve external references.	If you specify NCAL, you do not need to use the LIBRARY statement, and you do not need to supply the SYSLIB DD statement.
RENT NORENT	The RENT option indicates to the binder that the object module is reenterable and can be used by more than one task at a time. This type of module cannot be modified by itself or any other module when it is running. The assembler RENT option can be used to assist in determining whether the object module is reentrant. NORENT indicates that the object module is not reentrant.	The assembler RENT option and binder RENT option are independent of each other. NORENT is the default binder option.
AMODE 24 \| 31 \| ANY	Use AMODE (addressing mode) to override the default AMODE attribute established by the assembler.	See AMODE and RMODE attributes.
RMODE 24 \| ANY	Use RMODE (residence mode) to override the default RMODE attribute established by the assembler.	See AMODE and RMODE attributes.
PRINT	When you use the TSO commands LINK or LOADGO, the PRINT option specifies where to print diagnostic messages and the module map. PRINT is also an option of the loader, and controls whether diagnostic messages are produced.	See also Specifying binder options using the TSO LINK command.
