Link-editing your program

You can link-edit your program by using your normal link-edit procedures or you can use IBM® z/OS® Debugger Utilities by doing the following:
Note: z/OS Debugger Utilities is not available in IBM Developer for z/OS (non-Enterprise Edition), IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Stack (Wazi Code).
  1. From the z/OS Debugger Program Preparation panel, select option L, "Link Edit". The z/OS Debugger Program Preparation - Link Edit panel is displayed. In this panel, specify the input data sets and link edit options that you need the linker to use.
  2. Press Enter. The Link Edit - Verify Selections panel is displayed. Verify that the information on the panel is correct and then press Enter.
  3. If any of the output data sets you specified do not exist, you are asked to verify the options used to create them. Press Enter after you verify the options.
  4. If you specified that the processing be completed by batch, the JCL created to run the batch job is displayed. Verify that the JCL is correct and press PF3.
  5. After the processing is completed, the Link Edit - View Outputs panel is displayed. This panel displays the return code of each process completed and enables you to view, edit, or browse the input and output data sets.

To read more information about a field in any panel, place the cursor in the input field and press PF1. To read more information about a panel, place the cursor anywhere on the panel that is not an input field and press PF1.

After you link-edit your program, you can run your program and start z/OS Debugger.
