[Tiny-cobol-users] options for subprogram linkages.

[John R. C. <jo...@we...>]

I am converting a batch of programs from a Microfocus for Unix system to 
TinyCobol (Linux)  and am having trouble with subprogram linkages.  Here is 
the situation:

In main program "general" I have calls to subprogram maps03 in the form:
 CALL     "maps03" USING MAPS03-WS. 

This is a WORKING STORAGE copybook with the contents
 310     61 [00]: 000000 COPY "wsmaps03.cob".
   311      1 [01]: 774001**********
   312      2 [01]: 774002* MAPS03 *
   313      3 [01]: 774003**********
   314      4 [01]: 774004
   315      5 [01]: 774005 01  MAPS03-WS.
   316      6 [01]: 774006     03  U-DATE          PIC x(10).
   317      7 [01]: 774007     03  FILLER  REDEFINES  U-DATE.
   318      8 [01]: 774008       05  U-DAYS        PIC 99.
   319      9 [01]: 774009       05  FILLER        PIC X.
   320     10 [01]: 774010       05  U-MONTH       PIC 99.
   321     11 [01]: 774011       05  FILLER        PIC X.
   322     12 [01]:              05  u-cc          pic 99.
   323     13 [01]: 774012       05  U-YEAR        PIC 99.
   324     14 [01]: 774013     03  U-BIN           PIC 9(8)       comp.

 
The subprogram contains the line:

PROCEDURE	       DIVISION  USING	MAPA03-WS.

and in the linkage section:
000860 LINKAGE SECTION.
    73     73 [00]: 000870*---------------
    74     74 [00]: 000880*
    75     75 [00]: 000890**********
    76     76 [00]: 000900* MAPS03 *

    79     79 [00]: 000930 01  MAPA03-WS.
    80     80 [00]: 000940     03  A-DATE             PIC X(10).
    81     81 [00]: 000950     03  FILLER  REDEFINES  A-DATE.
    82     82 [00]: 000960       05  A-DAYS           PIC 99.
    83     83 [00]: 000970       05  FILLER           PIC X.
    84     84 [00]: 000980       05  A-MONTH          PIC 99.
    85     85 [00]: 000990       05  FILLER           PIC X.
    86     86 [00]:              05  A-CC             pic 99.
    87     87 [00]: 001000       05  A-YEAR           PIC 99.
    88     88 [00]: 001010     03  A-BIN              PIC 9(8)       comp.

 
Let's assume static linkage (simpler?) and Legacy layout  

1. What options should I have on the compile of maps03.cbl?

2. What options should I have on the compile of general.cbl?

Currently when compiled general.cbl can't find subprogram maps03 which was 
compiled with the -a option.  I also compiled it with the -c option. All are 
in the same directory.  The assembler pass says:

general.o(.text+0x3dc): In function `general':
: undefined reference to `maps03'
