Data sets for binder processing

You need the following data sets for binder processing. Others might be necessary if you have several additional libraries or object modules. If you need additional libraries and object modules, include a DD statement for them in your JCL. Table 1 summarizes the data sets that you need for linking.

Table 1. Data sets used for linking
DD name	Type	Function
SYSLIN¹	Input	Primary input data, normally the output of the assembler
SYSPRINT¹	Output	Diagnostic messages Informative messages Module map Cross reference list
SYSLMOD¹	Output	Output data set for the program module
SYSUT1¹	Utility	Work data set. Not used by the binder.
SYSLIB	Library	Automatic call library
SYSTERM²	Output	Numbered error or warning messages
User specified³		Additional object modules and program modules
Notes: ¹ Required data set ² Required if TERM option is specified ³ Optional data set
