Link Editor/XL by Nick Sellas--Data & Languages Division/CLL LINK EDITOR/XL With this release of MPE XL, the COBOLII/XL, FORTRAN77/XL and Pascal/XL compilers introduce the RLFILE compiler directive. This compiler feature allows the Link Editor/XL to manipulate procedures similar to the SEGMENTER on MPE V/E and may be the most convenient way to place existing source files in a relocatable library. If you use the RLFILE compiler directive, each procedure or subprogram in the source file is treated as a separate compilation unit and results in a separate relocatable object module in the relocatable library. The RLFILE compiler directive gives you the ability to closely simulate the creation of USL files under MPE V/E. You do this at compile time by using the RLFILE option. The Link Editor/XL introduces the BLOCKDATA parameter for the COPYRL, EXTRACTRL, LISTRL, PURGERL, ADDXL, COPYXL, LISTXL and PURGERL commands. The BLOCKDATA parameter is used to identify a FORTRAN block data subprogram module and it allows you to manipulate only those modules having the name that the BLOCKDATA parameter specifies. For complete information about the RLFILE compiler directive and BLOCKDATA parameter, consult the HP Link Editor/XL Reference Manual (P/N 32650-60015) as well as your corresponding compiler manuals.
