keyword

   Identifies the match algorithm used by the image activator.
   Specify one of the following keywords:


   Keyword     Meaning

   EQUAL       Directs the image activator to allow the image to map
               to the referenced shareable image when one condition
               is met:

               o  the major and minor ID for the shareable image, as
                  saved at link time in the image file, are equal to
                  the IDs found in the actual shareable image file
                  at activation time.

   LEQUAL      Directs the image activator to allow the image to map
               to the referenced shareable image when two conditions
               are met:

               o  the major ID for the shareable image, as saved at
                  link time in the image file, is equal to the major
                  ID found in the actual shareable image file at
                  activation time

               o  the minor ID for the shareable image, as saved at
                  link time in the image file, is less than or equal
                  to the minor ID found in the actual shareable
                  image file at activation time.

   ALWAYS      Directs the image activator to unconditionally allow
               the image to map to the referenced shareable image:

               o  regardless of the values of the major and minor
                  ID for the shareable image, as saved at link time
                  in the image file, and the values of the IDs found
                  in the actual shareable image file at activation
                  time.

                  Note that you must still specify values for the
                  major ID and minor ID parameters to satisfy the
                  requirements of the option syntax.
 

major-id

   Specifies the major identification number.
 

minor-id

   Specifies the minor identification number.

   When a shareable image is created without specifying a GSMATCH=
   option, the linker by default creates one. It sets the EQUAL
   match control and uses portions of the image creation time, as
   a binary value, for the major and minor IDs. In general this
   is sufficient to set a unique value for the IDs each time the
   shareable image is linked. On I64, the linker uses bits 40
   through 54 of the binary time value for the major ID and bits
   8 through 39 for the minor ID. On Alpha and VAX, the linker uses
   bits 32 through 46 of the binary time value for the major ID and
   bits 16 through 31 for the minor ID.
