This data set contains the Generalized Object File Format (GOFF) records produced by the binder when its input is Extended Object (XOBJ) module records, which are produced by specifying the RENT option in the C/C++, OO Cobol, and other compilers. Once built in storage, the GOFF records are processed and bound by the binder. The records in this data set are merely a snapshot of the records produced during a binder run. If the binder encounters any problem processing them, it may be useful to look at the GOFF records in this data set so as to diagnose problems in the XOBJ-to-GOFF conversion process or in the source XOBJ records. For this reason, the contents of this data set may be requested by the IBM® organization servicing the binder.

See GOFF records and their formats in z/OS MVS Program Management: Advanced Facilities.
