11-14
CALL and ENTER Statement Processing: Detailed
Explanation
b. If no file-mnemonic appears:
The compiler looks for the program in these files in this order:
1. Primary search list
2. Tertiary search list
3. ZCOBDLL
4. ZCREDLL
5. ECOBEXT
c. If the compiler cannot find the program in any of the places discussed earlier, it
reports an error and delivers no object code for the calling program.
Table 11-2 summarizes the preceding information.
Note. If routine-name specifies an HP C or HP C++ function whose name
includes lowercase letters, the call fails, because the compiler automatically converts
all names to uppercase.
