Project and Program: Application Architecture Development and Integration, LE and Programming Languages

Tags: Proceedings, 2011, SHARE in Orlando 2011

This introductory session will explore the most important classical and traditional uses of the binder, as invoked via batch and by SMP/E, as well as the more often elusive invocations such as buried deep within UNIX makefile scripts.

After a brief high-level overview of binder processing, we will focus on the most frequently used options and control statements, and on helpful ways to use the outputs when diagnosing link-edit problems or debugging run-time problems.

Come with your puzzling problems, questions, and suggestions, and we'll open it up to some Q & A to discuss what you and others find most helpful and interesting.
