Programming interface information
You can pass control to the batch loader from a program using the LINK, ATTACH, LOAD, CALL, and XCTL macros using either 24-bit or 31-bit addressing. You must supply a save area address in register 13. The batch loader can be invoked at three different entry points
to perform the following services:
The ATTACH, LINK, LOAD, and XCTL macros are described in z/OS MVS Programming: Assembler Services Guide. The use of these macros is identical to usage for the binder, with the exception of the ddname list passed as a parameter on LINK, ATTACH, CALL, and XCTL calls. The sequence of the 8-byte entries in the ddname list for the batch loader is as follows:
Note:
The batch loader generates a return code when it completes its execution and returns it in register 15. See Batch loader return codes for more information on batch loader return codes. End of programming interface information
