CEESTART

The CEESTART option specifies whether the compiler should place the CEESTART csect before or after all the other generated object code.

Under the CEESTART(FIRST) option, the compiler places the CEESTART csect before all the other generated object code; however, under the CEESTART(LAST) option, the compiler places it after all the other generated object code.

Using CEESTART(FIRST) will cause the binder to choose CEESTART as the entry point for a module if no ENTRY card is specified during the bind step.

Those users who want to use linker CHANGE cards must use the CEESTART(LAST) option.

However, MAIN routines should be linked with an ENTRY CEESTART linkage editor card. But, if you use the CEESTART(LAST) option, then you must include an ENTRY CEESTART card when linking your MAIN routine.
