How HP Link Editor/XL Works HP Link Editor/XL processes object code produced by high-level language compilers, such as COBOL II/XL. Object code is saved in relocatable object files. HP Link Editor/XL links relocatable object files for execution by assigning actual memory locations to them and to any external subroutines that they use. In addition to creating executable program files, you can use HP Link Editor/XL to create and maintain relocatable and executable libraries. When you invoke the MPE/iX command :LINK, HP Link Editor/XL is automatically entered, linking is completed, and HP Link Editor/XL is exited. Information required by HP Link Editor/XL is passed to it as :LINK parameters.
