Preparing Programs for Execution

To prepare a CA IDMS load module, perform the following steps:

1. Execute the appropriate precompiler to obtain a source-language program. The precompiler is the preprocessor that creates expanded source code and copies any specified dictionary record descriptions or modules.
2. Execute the host-language compiler or assembler to obtain an object program.
3. Execute the linkage editor to obtain a load module (or phase). You should store CA IDMS load modules in a load (core-image) library defined to the test system.

For more information on this phase of testing, see the language-specific CA IDMS DML Reference Guide.
