What perhaps needs a little more emphasis is that, while COBOL is the first, the requirements that binder output be a PDSE-resident program object will obtain for C/C++, PL/I, and LE-compatible HLASM source in the proximate future ,
Tom Marchant's statement <begin extract> . . . GOFF does not necessarily mean that the binder can only produce a program object from it. </end extract> is entirely correct. It is really only relevant, however, for assembly-language programs. The V1R6 HLASM LR contains the text . . . The program object model can be created only when the GOFF option is specified. The "load module" option can be created when either the NOGOFF or the GOFF opotion is specified, . . . There is nothing analogous to the HLASM option alternatives NOGOFF|GOFF available for COBOL 5.1. COBOL source libraries can continue to be PDSs, but CPOBOL executables must be stored in PDSEs. This should hold no terrors for anyone. PDSEs can be highly problematic at IPL time: suppoprt for their use is not always available early enough. For COBOL APs they are technically unproblematic.
