PH71999: OPEN XL OBJECT SYMBOLS UNABLE TO USE BINDER RENAME CONTROL STATEMENT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DLL side-deck files that include binder RENAME control
  statements encounter linker unresolved symbol errors when
  renaming symbols in Open XL-compiled object files.
      IEW2456E 9207 SYMBOL TEST_FUNC UNRESOLVED.
  
  RENAME control statements in side-deck files are coded as:
      ...
       RENAME 'TEST_FUNC','ORIG_FUNC'
      ...
       IMPORT CODE64,'MY_DLL','ORIG_FUNC'
  
  Open XL object symbols have their 'Renameable Flag' set to B'0'
  (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.2.0?topic=formats-external-s
  ymbol-definition-record).
  

Local fix

• The issue can be worked around by manually mapping the symbol
  names using the #pragma map functionality:
  
  int TEST_FUNC();
  
  #pragma map(TEST_FUNC, "ORIG_FUNC")
