Calling the linkage editor (Unix and Linux systems)

Depending on the language used to create the program units, the following linkage editors must be used:

• the C linkage editor cc if only C programs are contained

• the COBOL linkage editor from Micro Focus or NetCOBOL if at least one COBOL program is contained.

  • The call of the Micro Focus linkage editor is then as follows:

    cob -o utmwork shared-object UTM-systemlibraries

  • Linking with NetCOBOL is performed using the cobol command. To do this, it is necessary to incorporate the following COBOL libraries:

    • /opt/FJSVcbl64/lib/libFJBASE.so

    • /opt/FJSVcbl64/lib/libcobol.so

    • /opt/FJSVcbl64/lib/librcobflm64.so

• if you use shared objects in your application, you must always link them dynamically.

• the C++ linkage editor CC if at least one C++ program is contained; in this case, no COBOL programs are allowed.

• If you want to link an application for 64-bit operation, ensure that all the components that you specify during linking are available in 64-bit mode. It is not possible run a mixture of 32-bit mode and 64-bit mode objects.
