Tailoring the Fortran LIBPACKs

The Fortran component of Language Environment is shipped with individual routines and with groupings of routines called LIBPACKs. A LIBPACK is a load module that contains individual library routines packaged together by the linkage editor into a single load module in order to reduce the time that would otherwise be needed to load the individual routines.

You might want to customize the Fortran LIBPACKs to:

Shorten the load time for the Fortran LIBPACK by reducing its size
Minimize the virtual storage required for an application by eliminating seldom-used routines from main storage
Reduce the number of loads for application programs by adding frequently used routines to Fortran LIBPACKs
Reduce the size of the contents of shared storage

Usage notes

The Fortran LIBPACKs are generally shared among several different applications and cannot be tuned for a specific application. Therefore, ideal Fortran LIBPACKs contain only library routines that are common to all application programs.
