Barry I’m trying to get the external references of the object module
I used a example from samplib IEAWPBND It had a GETN to get the names when I invoked that service I got a S0C4 pic 10 it was at the entry point I tried to disassemble IEWBIND and the first instruction seems to be a branch Regardless I used IEWBIND a number of times and didn’t get any abend at its entry point Not sure why this is happening The example in samplib has the GETN going up against an load module and I am going up against an object module If you could shed some light on this would appreciate it Thanks On Fri, Oct 31, 2025 at 2:09 PM Barry Lichtenstein <[email protected]> wrote: > If you're using the IEWBIND macros, note the documentation here: > > https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.2.0?topic=api-loading-binder > > In particular the last sentence of that first paragraph -- The binder > keeps the EP of the IEWBIND program in the DIALOG, so it's only loaded once. > After CREATEWorkmod, the DIALOG is found from the WORKMOD, and only the > WORKMOD is passed to subsequent calls like IEWBIND GETN. > So possibly you invoked the IEWBIND macro but the WORKMOD or DIALOG got > trashed. > > > Regarding TSO TEST, I took a simple program which I knew could not be > handled by the binder LOADW.
