Calling Library Procedures
To call a host language procedure for which you have the object code but no source code, complete the following steps to link an existing procedure into an application:
1. Add the name of the object file (or the library that contains the object code) to the linker options file.
For example, to link a C procedure on VMS, use the VAX C Runtime Library.
2. Define a library procedure to ABF by creating a host language procedure.
Use the same name for the procedure as you use in the callproc statement. The symbol field on the Edit a Procedure Definition frame must contain the same name as the procedure.
The list of object files and libraries specified in the default Linker Options field are included in the named procedure.
