Re: Linkling an object from VSE to be used in z/OS
OS/390 was mid-1990s. I don’t remember the actual year. It sounds like the shop you were in had migrated from DOS/VS[E] and so continued with old phraseology. At least to me. As at least one other referred to CIL (Core Image Library), non- DOS programmers would not know that DOS Linkedit pre-bound load modules to the Partition in which they would execute. Change the partition boundaries and life could get interesting. Think in terms of ACONs now pointing to the original addresses and not being relocated by the loader. And partition resizing was done when one needed more “core” to run certain programs where the system didn’t have enough memory (generally non-DAT machines but might be needed with 24bit DAT as well). Then, one needed subroutines that could self relocate so they were partition location independent. And the rest of my DOS memory appears to have been HSM migrated to the bit bucket.

Re: Linkling an object from VSE to be used in z/OS
A phase in z/VSE is the same as a phase in z/OS, But, the CSECT info is not as complete as in z/OS. While z/OS has the information for the original different CSECTs used to build the phase, z/VSE only saves the main CSECT identification information. Restated, all the subroutines that may have been hard-linked to the phase are in the phase, but there is not enough information to remove or replace one of the csects. So, when you punch the phase from z/VSE, you will see only one CSECT for the total program.

Re: Linkling an object from VSE to be used in z/OS
What do you consider to be the MVS equivalent of a phase, and what utility are you using to convert a load module to an object module? Certainly you can relink (rebind) and delete extraneous csects, but that's somewhat of a manual process and still doesn't give you card images. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Re: Linkling an object from VSE to be used in z/OS
Don't expect it to work. When VSE punches a phase, the link deck created includes any called modules without any way to get them out.

Re: Linkling an object from VSE to be used in z/OS
Attila, I agree with you that there is almost no chance of a load module generated from this object deck operating correctly. z/OS and VSE use SVCs differently. For performing I/O, DCBs and DTFs are radically different. The VSE COBOL compiler may be calling library routines that don't exist in the z/OS environment. If this critical software and you have the big bucks, you could license DUO: http://www.lookupmainframesoftware.com/soft_detail/dispsoft/546 if it is still marketed! The above link is 9 years old.

It looks like you punched with stacker select, which suggests that the record length is 81 rather than 80. IAC, I suspect that there is VSE only code there.

Re: Linkling an object from VSE to be used in z/OS
MVS format object decks always have x'02' in column 1 and not "W", so that would be a problem. You would also need to link with an appropriate Cobol runtime library, and those would have been EOL circa 30 years ago.

The phase statement is VSE specific, so it will not run without change. If you send it to me privately I'll see if I can bind it.
