![]() OVERLAY statement z/OS MVS Program Management: User's Guide and Reference SA23-1393-00 |
|
We do not recommend using the INSERT and OVERLAY statements for program objects. The binder supports the overlay format for compatibility only. For more information on the use of the OVERLAY statement, see Designing and specifying overlay programs. The OVERLAY statement indicates the beginning of an overlay segment and, optionally, also of an overlay region. Because a segment or a region is not named, you identify it by giving its origin (or load point) a symbolic name. This name is then used on an OVERLAY statement to signify the start of a new segment beginning at that origin. The syntax of the OVERLAY statement is:
Placement: The OVERLAY statement must precede
the first module of the next segment, the INCLUDE statement specifying
the first module of the segment, or the INSERT statement specifying
the control sections to be positioned in the segment.
