ALIAS to load module

[Lieven Borgs]

Hi,

This might be a obvious thing for most of you guys but
for me it isn't.

I have to create an alias to a loadmod but have never
done this before.

Can somebody tell me how to do this or tell me where I
can find some doc on how to do this.

Thx a lot

Lieven

All my aliases have always been created by the linkage editor itself to make
externally callable functions obvious to subsquent link's

by providing linkage statements such as:

ALIAS SRV6414
NAME DPL2SERV(R)

but this is because we used to create NCAL type output modules, to be
link'ed at customer sites.
In which case, my manual source would probably be the Language Environment
bookshelf

Hi,

Thx a lot

I see you got some responses that gave you that answer. Just wanted to mention
that we cover that, and a whole lot more, in our course "Inter-Language
Communication in OS/390". We cover the Linkage Editor / Program Binder,
different call mechanisms (static, dynamic, DLL linkages), how to pass
arguments and receive parameters, shared storage, multiple entry points, and
more, in Assembler, COBOL, PL/I and C, both inter-language and intra-language.
Check out our website for a course description and detailed topical outline
(http://www.trainersfriend.com then follow the links to list of courses then
M-220, Inter-Language Communication in OS/390). Regular readers of this group
will recall the original name as "Hot Catholic High School Girls in Bondage"

If you have a copy of PDS85 or STARTOOL you can use the ALIAS
subcommand also.

On TSO, if you can get exclusive access to the load library,
you can say:

RENAME MY.LOAD(MEMBER) MY.LOAD(MEMBER2) ALIAS

Also, the PDS command should have a feature to create a member alias.

Using the linkage editor (er, binder) is risky because it involves
recreating the load module.

In batch, I think IEHPROGM can do this, but I'm not sure.

TSO RENAME will work in many (most?) cases, but module entry point could be
a problem. I don't believe that RENAME ALIAS will find an alternate entry
point matching the alias name, which is often required--depending on what
the code expects. The PDS command and its $ucce$$or (those are dollar signs
for the font challenged) product take care of this problem automatically.
