DML Precompile, Assembly, and Link-Edit JCL

This appendix describes processing for Assembler programs containing DML statements. It also provides samples of the z/OS, z/VSE and CMS, commands you use to prepare these programs.

Processing Assembler Programs Containing DML

To prepare a DML program for execution, you first execute the DML precompiler (IDMSDMLA). After this, you assemble and link edit.

Component	Input	Output
IDMSDMLA	Assembler source program containing DML Protocol/control information Dictionary record descriptions	Source Assembler program with DML-generated code DML and source listing and diagnostics
Assembler	Source program produced by IDMSDMLA	Object program Assembler listing
Linkage Editor	Object program produced by assembler	Load module Link-edit map

Steps for Assembly

The following figure illustrates steps involved in assembling a DML Assembler program.
