Specifying a User Library

Only one user library can be associated with a program file at any time. Associating a

user library with a program file is nearly identical for TNS and native user libraries. The

following table shows how to specify a user library for TNS and native processes:

Unlike TAL, you cannot specify a user library in pTAL source code with the LIBRARY

directive. Remove LIBRARY directives from pTAL programs.

User libraries specified at run time override those specified at link time.

For more information on TNS user libraries, see the Binder Manual. For more

information on native user libraries, see the nld and noft Manual.

When TNS Processes Native Processes

compile time TAL compiler LIBRARY directive Not available

For a COBOL85 program, you

must specify the native user

library in a CONSULT directive at

compile time and again at run

time.

bind and link time Binder SET LIBRARY command

TNS c89 utility -Wrunlib=

pathname flag (for Guardian

programs compiled using c89)

nld utility -libname library

flag

nld utility -set libname

library and -change

libname library flags

Native c89 utility -Wnld=

"-libname library" flag

run time TACL command interpreter RUN

command LIB option

OSS run gtacl command -lib

flag

TACL command interpreter RUN

command LIB option

OSS run gtacl command -lib

flag

For a COBOL85 program, you

must specify the same native

user library that you specified at

compile time at run time, using

the LIB option of the RUN

command (in the Guardian

environment) or the -lib flag of

the nmcobol utility (in the OSS

environment).
