LINK, RMS_RELATED_CONTEXT
*Conan The Librarian
|
Enables or disables RMS related name context processing. This
is also known as file specification "stickiness." The default
is to have RMS related name context processing enabled. This
default applies at the start of each options file regardless of
the setting in a previous options file. The related name context
itself (the collection of data structures RMS maintains to supply
the most recently specified fields) does not carry over from one
linker options file to the next. That is, previously specified
fields in the previous options file are not used to fill in
absent fields for file specifications in the current options
file.
Format
RMS_RELATED_CONTEXT=YES/NO
RMS_RELATED_CONTEXT=YES (default)
YES
Enables RMS related name context processing. If an option RMS_
RELATED_CONTEXT=NO is in effect, its saved related name context
is restored. If RMS related name context processing is already
enabled, this option has no effect.
RMS related name context processing is enabled by default.
Therefore command line file specifications are processed with RMS
related name context. Also, RMS related name context processing
is enabled at the start of each options file. The related name
context is limited to a single options file. That is, the saved
related name context is cleared at the start of each options
file.
NO
Disables RMS related name context processing. If an option RMS_
RELATED_CONTEXT=YES is in effect, the current name context is
saved for a possible future RMS_RELATED_CONTEXT=YES option.
If RMS related name context processing is already disabled,
specifying RMS_RELATED_CONTEXT=NO has no effect.
