I discovered by making a sequence of experiments that Peter Relson is literally correct. My phrase "wots not of" was ill chosen.
That conceded, the GOFF and XOBJ object modules that can be included in load modules bythe Binder must be denatured ones, shorn of their interesting properties. These restrictions are many, and I will not rehearse all of them here. Interested readers can scan z/OS MVS Program Management: User's Guide and Reference, SA22-7643-11 using the search argument GOFF. They are in fact so many that it is fair to say that GOFF [and XOBJ] object modules cannot IN GENERAL be included in load modules. None of the GOFF object modules produced by the HLASM in recent weeks from my own code could, for example, be included in one. Still, Peter Relson's correction was entirely in order. I overstated this restriction. I should have stated it as a practical and not an absolute one.
