Option_Values

 

alias

   Optionally specifies an alias name for the symbol you want to
   declare universal. When specified, the alias name appears in the
   global symbol table (GST) of the image and values associated with
   the name specified in the symbol-name parameter appear in the
   symbol vector of the image.

   Note that you can specify alias names only for symbol vector
   entries declared using the DATA or PROCEDURE keywords. For more
   information about symbol vector entry types, see the following
   table.
 

name

   Specifies the name of the symbol or the name of a program section
   in the shareable image that you want to declare universal.
 

entry-type

   Specifies the type of the symbol vector entry. The following
   table lists the types of symbol vector entries supported by the
   linker along with the keyword you use to specify them:


   Keyword          Function

   DATA             Creates a symbol vector entry for data
                    (relocatable or constant). The linker creates an
                    entry for the symbol in the GST of the shareable
                    image.
   PROCEDURE        Creates a symbol vector entry for a procedure
                    and creates an entry for the symbol in the GST
                    of the shareable image.
   PRIVATE_DATA     Creates a symbol vector entry for data; however,
                    the linker does not create an entry for the data
                    in the GST of the shareable image. Thus, the
                    symbol is not available for other modules to
                    link against.
   PRIVATE_         Creates a symbol vector entry for a procedure;
   PROCEDURE        however, the linker does not create an entry
                    for the procedure in the GST of the shareable
                    image. Thus, the symbol is not available for
                    other modules to link against.
   PSECT            Creates a symbol vector entry for a program
                    section and creates an entry for the program
                    section in the GST of the shareable image.
   SPARE            Use this keyword to create a placeholder.
                    SPARE allows you to preserve the order of the
                    symbol vector entries when you need to create an
                    upwardly compatible shareable image. The SPARE
                    keyword is used alone; it is not preceded by a
                    symbol name and equal sign.
