RTC Dependency build unable to identify dependent module and run necessary link-edit

edited Oct 11 '17, 3:06 a.m. by Ralph Schoon (62.7k●3●36●43) I have two programs (StartApp and PrintApp) in my z/OS project. StartApp calls PrintApp explicitly ( Call 'PrintApp' using Program-pass-fields ). I changed the PrintApp program and ran a dependency build. My expectation is that the dependency build identifies the dependency and re-link-edits the calling program StartApp. However, the build only compiles and link-edits the changed program without relinking the calling program. As a result, the change made did not take effect when I tested it by invoking the StartApp program. I know that my link editor translator must have the link-edit check-box checked. I've made sure I did that. Source code data scanning has been enabled. Are there any other configurations to ensure dependency build properly runs? Thanks. |

FYI, the RTC link edit parser only works with Program Objects in PDSEs (not Load Modules in PDSs). Are you linking with Objects or Load modules? |

Hi Alex, thanks for your response. I'm linking program objects in PDSEs. In my link-editor translator, I have the program object PDSE library as one of the DD concatentations for SYSLIB. Thanks.

Louis,
You may wish to review https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/FAQBLZLKEPS. As you can see, RTC is designed to support what you're trying to do but there are little devils in the details.
