Chapter 3  Dynamic Loading of Library Procedures 

Externally referenced procedures located in executable library files
(XLs) are normally bound to your program when it is first loaded at
process creation (load time).  MPE XL enables you to bind and load a
specified XL procedure any time during process execution (run time), a
feature referred to as dynamic loading.

You might, for example, decide to do this for a large procedure used
optionally and infrequently by your program, or for a procedure whose
name is not known by your program at load time.
