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.
