Re: LINK EP/EPLOC= usage
Thanks Peter ALIAS are all CSECTS I did get it working Thanks you -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Peter Relson Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2020 8:32 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: LINK EP/EPLOC= usage As all of the responders have made clear, CSECT and ENTRY in the assembler source are not directly relevant. Only NAME and ALIAS (typically via binder control statements) are relevant. CSECT and ENTRY are data that the binder uses to know to which location the ALIAS is to apply. If the ALIAS name is found as a CSECT / ENTRY, then the binder uses that location. If the ALIAS name is not a CSECT / ENTRY, it defaults to using the module entry (as defined or defaulted by the binder). There are limits to the number of aliases the binder will let you create. Then IDENTIFY can add to the mix. There are no practical limits to the number of IDENTIFY's you can go (obviously at some point you run out of storage to hold CDEs).

Re: LINK EP/EPLOC= usage
I'm putting this in terms of load modules; things are similar but more complicated for program objects. Normally your main program has an assembler ENTRY statement that determines the entry point for the true name, and an ALIAS statement matching an ENTRY or CSECT name generates an alias entry with that name and entry point. You can override the entry point with a link editor ENTRY statement. Yes, if you load a module then you can add a named entry point with IDENTIFY and then do, e.g., LINK, to that name. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
