It is probably easiest to do this from a Unix Service shell using the c++ command. See the description of the c89 command in Unix System Services Command Reference, and in particular the prefix_STEPS environment variable. It has been a long time, but I believe if the target of the link is a PDS, the prelinker is invoked automatically even without the prefix_STEPS environment variable. Regards.
