Link Options

The table below lists link options that permit the use of Open PL/I with other software products. For more information, see the section Using Open PL/I with Other Software Products.

Option	Explanation
-mvs	Allows linking of programs running under the control of JCL. Note: -mvs is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use the -systemmvs option instead.
-ims	Allows linking of programs running under the control of IMS. Note: -ims is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use the -systemmims option instead.
-cics	Allows linking of programs running under the control of CICS.
-strip	Do not generate debugging information.
-db2	This option is required for the mfdb2 preprocessor, which is deprecated. Please use the EXEC preprocessor (invoked by -sql db2).
-fixedvalidate	Causes the RTS to turn on additional checking to ensure that FIXED DECIMAL field contents are can contain characters 0 through 9 and CDF hex values. This option raises the CONVERSION condition if the assignment or the result of a math operation causes the FIXED DECIMAL field to contains an invalid character. The default is -nofixedvalidate.
-fixedoverflow	Enables checking that raises the SIZE condition if an operation causes a FIXED DECIMAL value to overflow. The default is -nofixedoverflow.

Note: To create a UNIX/Linux sharable object that can be run under Enterprise Server, you must use the ld command. For more information, see Creating a Sharable Library.
