The interface to the binder for z/OS UNIX System Services (z/OS UNIX) C applications is the z/OS UNIX c89 utility or the cc command, and for C++ applications it is the c++ command. You can use them to compile and bind a z/OS UNIX C/C++ program in one step, or bind application object modules after the compilation. You must, however, invoke one of the z/OS® UNIX shell keywords before you can issue the c89 utility. For more information about using the utility and these commands, see z/OS UNIX System Services Command Reference.

For more information about compiling your XL C/C++ applications, see z/OS XL C/C++ User's Guide.
