Passed from a previous job step

A module used as input can be passed from a previous job step to a binder job step in the same job (for example, the output from the compiler is direct input to the binder). In the following example, an object module that was created in a previous job step (STEPA) is passed to the binder job step (STEPB):
//STEPA      EXEC
//SYSGO      DD     DSNAME=&&OBJECT,DISP=(NEW,PASS),...
⋮
//STEPB      EXEC
//SYSLIN     DD     DSNAME=&&OBJECT,DISP=(OLD,DELETE)

The temporary data set name &&OBJECT, used in both job steps, identifies the object module as the output of the language processor on the SYSGO DD statement, and as the primary input to the binder on the SYSLIN DD statement.
