linkEdit

When you are generating a COBOL program for z/OS®, the linkEdit build descriptor option identifies a link edit part. That part provides a way to create the information for a link edit file, which in turn specifies how to combine COBOL programs into a load module.

At generation time, EGL reviews the linkEdit option with these possible results: In all cases, EGL generates a link edit file with the file extension LED. This provides the link edit information for the program, including all EGL runtime modules that must be statically linked. When there is a link edit part and a resulting LKG link edit file, the build plan specifies that the build scripts should include an extra step in the preparation process, to relink the program using the link edit commands from the LKG file. You can then statically link the program with other EGL or non-EGL programs.

You can use your own symbolic parameters in the link edit part, as well as those listed in the topic "Predefined symbolic parameters for EGL generation."
