Passing options to the linker
You can specify linker options in any of these ways: an invocation command (cob2) or makefile statements.
About this task
Any options that you specify in an invocation command that are not recognized by the command are passed to the linker.
Several invocation command options influence the linking of your program. For details about the set of options for a given command, consult documentation for that command.
