Creating and Running the Load Module on MVS

You can now FTP your ftoc.out file to MVS in binary mode and use the linkage editor to create a load module that may be executed with the TSO CALL command.

  1. Allocate a TEST.OBJ data set a TEST.LOAD data set to contain your prelinked object deck and the load module. The TEST.OBJ data set should have the following attributes: 
    Record format . . . :,FB    

Record length . . . :,80    

Block size  . . . . :,3040
    The TEST.LOAD data set should have the following attributes: 
    Record format . . . :,U    

Record length . . . :,121  

Block size  . . . . :,1210
  2. FTP the ftoc.out file to userid.TEST.OBJ(FTOC). Make sure you FTP the file in binary mode.
  3. Modify the following JCL to the requirements of your site and submit the job to create the userid.TEST.LOAD(FTOC) load module: 
    //your-jobcard

//*

//*--LINKEDIT-----------------------------------------------

//*

//LKED    EXEC PGM=LINKEDIT

//SYSLIN    DD DSN=userid.TEST.OBJ(FTOC),DISP=SHR

//SYSUT1    DDUNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(10,10))

//SYSLMOD   DD DSN=userid.TEST.LOAD(FTOC),DISP=SHR

//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSTERM   DD SYSOUT=*

//
  4. Issue the following command to invoke the FTOC load module: 
    TSO CALL TEST.LOAD(FTOC) ‘=V’
    The ‘=V’ is the =VERSION run-time option which will cause a message to be displayed that identifies the release of the SAS/C library that the load module was linked with and the release of the transient library that is being used to run the application.
