SECTION 03.00 LOADER

INTRODUCTION

The Loader, under the direction of the Commercial Translator Supervisor creates a machine language program from the relative binary deck(s) produced by the Compiler and normally turns control over to the program for execution. As part of the loading procedure, separately compiled program segments are combined; storage is allocated for program instructions, data and buffers; object program, system subroutines and specified IOCS modules are loaded; and control is transferred to the object program starting point.

A detailed description of the control cards which direct the Loader, and a discussion of the Loader input and output appear in this section.

Current Loader Deferred Features, Restrictions, and/or Limitations are found in Appendix 90.01.
