I believe the linkage editor/binder can get an entry specification form one of two possible places: the ENTRY control statement and the END "card" in an object module. If neither is present, the default entry point is the first CSECT in the load module. This need not be the first one included if things are changed by ORDER statements. I don't believe the NAME statement has any effect.
Things may be different for program objects. The manual you want is Program Management in the SMS library. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Hammond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 10:12 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Linkage Editor I have a link edit question and I'm trying to RTFM, but can't seem to find the right manual. My query: on the linkage editor, if I have a number of 'INCLUDE OBJECT(program)' entries and no ENTRY statement, what is the entry point of my load module? Is it determined by the first INCLUDE? Or, is it somehow related to the 'NAME loadmodulename(R)' statement? If you can point me to the right manual so I can read more about it (a quick answer would also be appreciated) I would be forever thankful.
