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.
There are indeed many restrictions, but few of them matter.
All of our HLASM products on z/OS are currently built using GOFF. None of them
yet require or are delivered via PDSE.
