Dear Folks,
We have just made a development to help isolate a csect from a
load module. The tool which can help, is the latest version of the PDS
8.6 product from the Updates page of www.cbttape.org.
The latest version of the PDS 8.6 program from CBT File 182 (see
the Updates page of www.cbttape.org), together with the CSECTS rexx exec
on that file (please use only the latest one), now makes isolating an
object deck from a load module very simple, provided that the PDS
program is set up with its proper bells and whistles, under ISPF.
What to do: Bring up a member list for your load library, which
includes the load module that you want to look at. (BTW if the load
library is a PDSE, use IEBCOPY to copy (at least) that load module to a
pds load library. The PDS COPY command with the NEW parameter makes
this very easy.)
Then bring up PDS against that load library. Make a Member List
(ML subcommand) which includes the load module in question. Then use
the CS line command against the load module name in the member list. If
the proper version of the CSECTS rexx exec is installed (included in CBT
File 182), then a new panel will come up which will display all that
module's csects. A line command of 'O' which really stands for
"Object", will delink the csect (running David Noon's DELINKI program)
and present you with its object deck. Just copy off the object deck and
use it in a new linkedit stream, or in any way you want.
I hope this helps. Please note that (we hope) all auxiliary
programs needed or called by the PDS program, are included in File 182
under the member UTILXMIT.
All the best of everything to all of you.......
Sincerely, Sam Golob (on behalf of John Kalinich, who did the work)
