CL Command Reference - EXTPGMINF
CL Command List > EXTPGMINF Reference
Description:
The Extract Program Information (EXTPGMINF) command extracts external linkage information from extended program model (EPM) program objects, and stores this information in a library information file. External linkage information, which includes external variables and entry points, can only be extracted from EPM program objects. The C/400*, FORTRAN/400*, and Pascal compilers produce EPM program objects.
A library information file is a collection of the linkage information for a set of related programs. The library information file name is used on the LIBFILE parameter of the SETPGMINF command. For example, a library information file is provided for the set of programs that make up the C/400 run-time library.
The EXTPGMINF command lets you create a file to store the names of all the affected entry points in your application, instead of specifying each program object name on the SUBPGM parameter of the SETPGMINF command.
Examples:
None.
