ALLOW

Purpose

The ALLOW option controls the type of program modules that the Automatic Binary Optimizer for z/OS® will accept.

Default

ALLOW=UNRESEXE

Usage

When ALLOW=UNRESEXE is specified, ABO accepts fully bound modules or partially bound modules. The only type of partially bound program modules accepted by the optimizer are those linked with the CALL=NO or NCAL binder option. If the input module is fully bound then the optimized output module will be fully bound. If the input module is partially bound then the optimized module will be partially bound.

When ALLOW=NOUNRESEXE is specified, ABO only accepts fully bound program modules (program object or load module) and always produces a fully bound program module. If partially bound modules are processed when ALLOW=NOUNRESEXE is specified then message BOZ1494S is issued.
