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.
