This step shows the link-edit of the previous assembly. From the link-edit INCLUDE statement, SMP/E derives the data required to create a target zone MOD entry representing the module, TESTMOD1. The module name is determined from the member name operand on the INCLUDE statement, and the distribution library, SYSPUNCH, is determined from the INCLUDE statement's ddname.

Further, the link-edit defines the operating system library for a load module, LOADMOD1. A target zone LMOD entry is created from the link-edit NAME statement. It contains the ddname of the operating system library, derived from the link-edit SYSLMOD DD statement. In this case, the LMOD entry name is LOADMOD1, the load module's highest acceptable link edit return code value is set to 4, and the system library (saved as a SYSLIB subentry) is determined to be LPALIB. The load module attribute, RENT, is saved in the LMOD entry for use in subsequent link-edits of this load module; the parameters LET and LIST are not saved.
