Re: copy a load module
Julian Levens
I am pretty sure there is nothing you can do. If you have the original
source you may be able to compile pre-link and bind into a PDS. The whole
point of program objects was to provide additional functionality over and
above load modules. Therefore, you cannot copy without losing this
functionality and end up with a broken program. In my early days of
computing I was introduced to fixed-block-architecture disks. I still find
it odd that you cannot simply copy data from one place to another and it
just works. I have looked into IBM DASD architecture to understand this a
little better, but I have found it hard to find the references that make
this totally clear. IIRC, Fred Brooks who led the design of the IBM/360
admitted that the originsl DASD architecture was a design mistake, but maybe
I'm mistaken.
I do not know why this functionality was not added to load-modules within a
PDS. I suspect it was a decision to work with and invest in new technology
and leave the old technolgy stable. However, there maybe technical reasons
why its easier to add this to PDSEs rather that a PDS. Hopefully someone
else can elucidate.

This is off-topic for REXX but can you use the Linkage Editor (Binder) -
like this:
// EXEC PGM=LINKEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//PDSE DD DSN=MY.PDSE.LOAD(MYPROG),DISP=SHR
//SYSLMOD DD DSN=MY.PDS.LOAD,DISP=SHR
//SYSLIN DD *
INCLUDE PDSE(MYPROG)
NAME MYPROG(R)

hi folks,
we got a loadmodul inside a pds-e and we are not able to copy it to a
pds-loadlib. we tried with iebcopy, pdsfast, and 3.3. the message we get is
IEW2606S 4B39 MODULE INCORPORATES VERSION 3 PROGRAM OBJECT FEATURES AND
CANNOT
BE SAVED IN LOAD MODULE FORMAT.
also we tried to reblock with adrdssu. any idea, what we can do?
thanks
heinz

So you need to have your C run-time library available in your link (actually
binder) JCL. Add a SYSLIB that points to that.
