Thanks....I've learned so much from this topic.Frankly speaking, I can not understand all of these at this time.But I'll save them and in the future hope I can grasp more.
As for the 'binder' and 'linkage editor',it's a shock to me.I thought they're the same thing..... Can I get some suggestion about wich manual I should resort to for the usage of 'binder' ? I know IEWL ,or HEWL, is the alias of a same program and I use them everyday to generate cobol load module in my complie-and-link procedure. Just wonder whether IEWL is the 'binder' or 'linkage editor'?
