Excluding Subroutines

By default, IN25LINK excludes subroutines with CEE, DFH, DLZ, IBM, IGZ, and ILB prefixes when it reads the link-edit map. Usually, you will not want to test these programs.

You can change the default exclusion rules using a parameter card, positioned anywhere in the CARDS file after the first card, beginning in column 1, as follows:

EXCLUDE=

(or)

EXCLUDE=name[,name,…,name]

Specifying EXCLUDE without any names instructs IN25LINK not to exclude any subroutines.

Specifying EXCLUDE=xxxxxxxx instructs IN25LINK to exclude subroutines whose names are represented by xxxxxxxx. Specify the entire link-name to exclude a specific subroutine, or specify a prefix to exclude a group of subroutines.

For example, to exclude all subroutines with the prefix ACA1, specify:

EXCLUDE=ACA1
