Enterprise PL/I for z/OS, Version 3.8, Programming Guide

Input files

The pli command compiles PL/I source files, links the resulting object files with any object files and libraries specified on the command line in the order indicated, and produces a single executable file.

The pli command accepts the following types of files:

Source files—.pli
All .pli files are source files for compilation. The pli command sends source files to the compiler in the order they are listed. If the compiler cannot find a specified source file, it produces an error message and the pli command proceeds to the next file if one exists.

All HFS source files must be line-delimited and encoded in EBCDIC.

Object files—.o
All .o files are object files. The pli command sends all object files along with library files to the linkage editor at link-edit time unless you specify the -c option. After it compiles all the source files, the compiler invokes the linkage editor to link-edit the resulting object files with any object files specified in the input file list, and produces a single executable output file.
Library files—.a
The pli command sends all of the library files (.a files) to the linkage editor at link-edit time.
