How do I create a load module in a PDS from Unix?

This is another of the little problems which are easy once you know the anwser.

I used the shell program to compile my program.

name=extract 
                                                                                                                    
export _C89_CCMODE=1 

p1="-Wc,arch(8),target(zOSV2R3),list,source,ilp32,gonum,asm,float(ieee)" 
p7="-Wc,ASM,ASMLIB(//'SYS1.MACLIB')                   " 
p8="-Wc,LIST(c.lst),SOURCE,NOWARN64,XREF,SHOWINC -Wa,LIST(133),RENT" 

# compile it                                                                                                                    
xlc  $p1 $p7  $p8   -c $name.c -o $name.o 

l1="-Wl,LIST,MAP,XREF,AC=1 " 
# create an executable in the file system
/bin/xlc $name.o  -o $name   -V   $l1    1>a 
extattr +a $name 

# create a load module in a PDS
/bin/xlc $name.o  -o "//'COLIN.LOAD(EXTRACT)'"  -V $l1    1>a 

Create an executable in the file system

The first bind xlc step creates an object with name “extract” in the file system.

Specify the load module

The second bind step specified a load module in a PDS. The load module is stored in COLIN.LOAD. If you copy and paste the line, make sure you have the correct quotes ( double quote, //, single quote, dataset(member),single quote,double quote). Sometimes my pasting lost a quote.

Process assembler code

My program has some assembler code…

 asm( ASM_PREFIX 
         " STORAGE RELEASE,...
         :"r0", "r1" , "r15" ); 

It needs the options “-Wc,ASM,ASMLIB(//’SYS1.MACLIB’) ” to compile it, and specify the location of the assembler macros.

Binder parameters

The line parameters in -Wl,LIST,MAP,XREF,AC=1 are passed to the binder.

Message – wrong suffix on the source file

Without the export _C89_CCMODE=1 I got the message

FSUM3008 Specify a file with the correct suffix (.c, .i, .s, .o, .x, .p, .I, or .a), or a corresponding data set name, instead of -o ./extract.
