The location for this topic is not here and the answer is extensive. News/400
has discussed this topic. You do not need a binding library since you can
list the modules in the bind command. Also look into the service program
topic.

Hi everyone,
Sorry about the offtopic, I don't know where else to go.
At my work we have always used the old style method of building
programs: One source member = one executable. The whole program lives
in one source member. Yuck. If we want to call another program to do
something we use to old style call which causes a program bootstrap for
every call. Something like this:
C call 'CS0007IR'
C parm selectcst#
C parm '01' selectco#
C parm '0' allowdelet
C parm cs0007rtn
This way sucks because of the slowness of the call and the lack or
parameter checking. Plus you can't do C-like things such as :
if((check_me(some_data)) == ERROR)
{ do something }
So I want to do what I think are called bound procedure calls.
Basically I want to do what any C compiler can do (and IBM claims any
ILE language can do): make a bunch of object files (*.o stuff) and link
them all together to create an executable. I must have ILE Concepts a
dozen times and IBM seems to be writing gibberish. Not a standard
definition of any term in the whole book! I think I need something a
binding directory (what is that?) and some way to say this object and
that object link to together to make an executable. Anyone know how to
do this? Can you bring our office out of the dark ages?
