If linker JCLIN in "product A" INCLUDEs a MOD element from "product B", then:
o They should reside in common zones. o (Co)REQ is the proper relationship. If a load module in "product A" merely ATTACHes a load module in "product B", they might reside in different CSIs, and IFREQ with a HOLD to alert the systems programmer is the best you can do. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
