Compiler Output

The output of the compiler is:

•

A listing, including any compiler diagnostic messages (if the file for the listing is a

disk file, the compiler creates an EDIT file unless the file already exists)

•

An object file, if no compilation errors occurred

The ECOBOL compiler produces either:

•

A loadfile

•

A linkfile

•

A dynamic-link library (DLL)

For information about the COBOL85 and NMCOBOL compilers, see the COBOL

Manual for TNS and TNS/R Programs.

Combining Separately Compiled Source

Programs

You can compile several source files separately and then use the eld utility to

combine their object code files into a single loadfile (see the eld Manual for more

information). In the Guardian environment, a loadfile can contain object code from

these compilers:

You can combine multiple object files in a single loadfile only if the multiple object files

are either all TNS object files, all TNS/R native object files, or all TNS/E native object

files.
