The binder accepts four major types of input:
  1. Primary input defined by the SYSLIN DD statement.
  2. Additional input specified with the INCLUDE control statement
  3. Additional input incorporated by the program management binder from a call library. This input can contain object modules and control statements, load modules, or program objects.
  4. Additional input specified as options in the PARM field of the JCL EXEC statement.
Output of the program management binder is of the following types:
  1. A program module placed in a program library as a named member, or a program object placed in a z/OS UNIX file. Program objects are stored in PDSE program libraries or z/OS UNIX files. Load modules are stored in partitioned data set program libraries.
  2. An executable module loaded into virtual storage.
  3. Diagnostic and informational output produced as a sequential data set.
Figure 1 shows how object modules are combined to create a load module.
