Definition
OVER LA Y specifies that all of the input modules shall be combined into a single
overlay module. When the optional overlay name argument is specified, all
segments contained within the overlay modu'le have that name in addition to their
segment names and class names. When
overlclY name
is not specified, LINK86 uses
the module name of the first module in the input list.
Notes
• Each overlay in a given program must be linked separately before they are all
linked into a single object module.
• The overlay specified in the argument must be the same as the overlay name
used when calling the operating system to load the overlay.
• When linking root and overlay files, LINK86 assumes the first file in the
invocation line is the root.
• The ASSUMEROOT control can be specified in conjunction with the
OVERLAY control.
