A
linkage options part provides the various elements that
you can use to specify the details of how you want certain statements
to be implemented in your generated COBOL code. It contains some or
all of the following elements:
- asynchLink
- Provides details on how a generated program starts a particular
program or transaction asynchronously by using the vgLib.startTransaction system
function.
- callLink
- Provides details on how a call statement
is to be implemented when calling a particular program, or how a particular
called program will be called.
- fileLink
- Provides details on whether to use remote file I/O for a particular
file in the CICS® environment.
- transferToProgram
- Provides details on how a transfer to program statement
is implemented when transferring to a particular program.
- transferToTransaction
- Provides details on how a transfer to transaction statement
is implemented when transferring to a particular transaction (or program
in non-transactional environments).
For COBOL generation, the options you specify at generation
time cannot be changed at runtime. For more information, see
Overview of linkage options part.
