Run-Time Libraries
Use the Binder INFO command with the DETAIL clause to show the ENV attribute of a
particular data or code block. For example:
@ add * from test
@ info *, detail
TEST^PROCEDURE 167
LANG: TAL ENV: NEUTRAL TIME: 1992-06-19 09:48
Run-Time Libraries
The TNS C, COBOL85, FORTRAN, and TAL products each consist of a compiler and a
set of separately packaged run-time functions called a run-time library. Compilers
generate code that depends on the availability of functions in the run-time libraries. The
operating system requires that all references to run-time functions be resolved before a
program is run. To resolve these references, you must either use Binder to bind the
necessary run-time functions into your program or configure the run-time functions into
the system library. The operating system resolves references to run-time functions at
process startup for routines in the system library.
Table 3-8
on page 3-7 shows the locations of the run-time libraries.
The TNS C, COBOL, and FORTRAN run-time libraries are in the system library. You
never have to bind the run-time library into TNS C, COBOL, or FORTRAN programs;
however, you must bind the appropriate memory-model file into C programs. Refer to
the
C Programmer's Guide for details on the C memory-model files.
You must bind the TALLIB file into programs with TAL routines that contain embedded
SQL statement or calls to the TAL_CRE_INITIALIZER_ procedure. Refer to the
TAL
Programmer’s Guide for more information.
The TNS COBOL and FORTRAN run-time libraries include functions that run in the
CRE and functions that run in the COBOL and FORTRAN language-specific run-time
environments. Thus, TNS COBOL and FORTRAN programs can run in their language-
specific run-time environments or the CRE.
In addition, a run-time library called CRELIB contains the CRE library functions
documented in Section 5, Using the Common Language Utility (CLU) Library
