Operating modes RUN-MODE=*STD and RUN-MODE=*ADVANCED

The dynamic binder loader (DBL) runs in two different operating modes. The user selects the mode in which DBL is to execute by means of the RUN-MODE operand in the START-PROGRAM and LOAD-PROGRAM commands.

When the commands START/LOAD-EXECUTABLE-PROGRAM are used, DBL always runs in RUN-MODE=*ADVANCED.

RUN-MODE=*STD operating mode
In this mode DBL is fully compatible with the DLL of the old linkage editor/loader system. The new functions in DBL cannot be used in this operating mode. RUN-MODE=*STD is the default setting.

RUN-MODE=*ADVANCED operating mode
In this mode DBL supports the functions introduced as of BS2000 V10. These functions can lead to problems of incompatibility with the DLL of the previous linkage editor/loader system.
