I've got my first mainframe C++ application. It runs under Windows. (Obviously, that's not the same as running under z/OS, but the point is it's "a complete program." My concern at this point is getting it to link, not run.) It compiles cleanly under z/OS C++. I have long names and want the load module in a PDS, so I'm running the compile/pre-link/link proc. There are eight object modules from eight source files in an HFS path. I'm good up to that point. Questions:
1. How do I specify the input to the prelinker? I tried LIBRARY with a DD name pointing to my object path and all of the object files listed in parentheses. If I do that, the prelinker runs to completion with a zero return code and nothing in SYSPRINT, but the link fails on a SYSLIN that is apparently empty (wrong length record, that sort of thing). SYSLIN is the same dataset as the prelink SYSMOD. How do I know if the prelinker actually did anything? My guess is that it did not. (SYSMOD specfies FB/80/3200 and SYSLIN lets it default.) 2. If I specify INCLUDE with a DD pointing to the main() object module and LIBRARY with a DD for everything else, I get a warning of unresolved extrns, but it still runs to a zero completion, and I still get the same error out of the link editor. Any clues? Is the prelinker documented anywhere other than the C++ User's Guide?
