The LINK command link-edits a compiled external procedure or combines
two or more procedures to form a single executable program. You can
run an executable program by using the CALL command. Use the LINK-and-CALL
method of processing when you want to:
- Keep a copy of the executable program in an external data set
- Link-edit two or more external procedures to form a single executable
program
- Run a program repeatedly, without changing the source code
To run a compiled program without keeping a copy of the executable
program, use the LOADGO command.
