Without some kind of explicit ENTRY indicator within the source--like END 
BAMKAPP--there was no ENTRY point generated in the app module. Hence specifying 
ENTRY BANKAPP to the linker got 'not found'. Maybe today's binder takes care of 
this, but in the 80s we could not find an obvious way to solve it.

Given more time we might have come to a resolution, but at the time we were 
stumped.

No one knew how to code an ENTRY statement?

Personally, I'd make that message the Binder emits about defaulting the entry 
point to be an RC=8 level error.  I usually discover this oversight when 
something crashes after an APPLY, and by then, it's not so simple to add the 
ENTRY.
