All,
Can i know what is the reason in going for different load name and source name i mean if source is CYCSR002 the load name is CYCSR00B.
why cant we use the same name as the source for the Load also.
Thanks in Advance,
Rajasekhar. |

hello,
do u know,what is source library and load library?
as per my knowledge ,purpose of load library to store object file of source file. source file is the file in which u can write your COBOL program, which is stored in source library.
Now,program written in COBOL coding,which cant interpreted by compiler.
so first of all compiler will generate object file of same source file with same name but with the extension of object format.
if u have a same name of load library and source library, object file resides in same library.
due to that,there may be some problem to distinguish source file and object file in same library.
i hope this will guide u little more. |

I think you will have to ask the person who did it. You CAN use the same name, but you don't have to.

There is no (reasonable) way you can share a library with source and object. |

The Load Lib stores the load module, not the object file.
The compiler output is the object file, LRECL=80, and this can be stored in an object lib. The Linkage Editor creates the load module from the object file plus other external references.
While usually one does not save the object file, so the compile/lked proc uses a temp file for that, one can save it if one wants to.
There may be cases where one saves the object file for later re-links with modified subroutines, where the main routine need not be recompiled. |
