Load Module Packaging

Load module packaging lets you specify the components to create an executable program. The act of packaging does not create the load modules. Packaging defines the contents of a load module. A load module (or executable program) is generated, and then built during installation. An installed load module contains the executable code for all components included in its packaging definition plus special function routines and system routines.

Note: If you are building a component for use in Component-Based Development, specify Operations Libraries, rather than Load Modules, to package and generate the component.

For the Code, All and Code, All and Install actions, CA Gen does the packaging for you when you generate code. For the Code, Selected action, you must package manually.

If you want CA Gen to package for you, you can skip this chapter. However, if you let CA Gen package for you, you have little control over the packaging names and scheme.
