LINK

/TRANSFER[:value]

Lets you specify the transfer (start) address of the load module. The transfer

address is the address at which a program starts when you initiate execution

with R, RUN, FRUN, SRUN, V, or VRUN.

The value argument is an even, unsigned, six-digit octal number that deﬁnes the

transfer address. If the transfer address you specify is odd, the program does

not execute after loading, and control returns to the monitor.

When you have entered the complete LINK command, LINK displays the

following prompt message if you did not already specify a value:

Transfer symbol?

Respond with the global symbol whose value is the transfer address. You cannot

specify a number at this point. Terminate your response with

RETURN

. If you

specify a nonexistent symbol, an error message displays and the linker sets the

transfer address to 1 so that LINK cannot execute the program.

When /TRANSFER[:value] is speciﬁed with /IDSPACE, if value is not speciﬁed,

the speciﬁed transfer symbol is veriﬁed to be in I-space. If it is not, an error

message is displayed.

/WIDE

Used with /MAP, produces a wide load-map listing. Normally, the listing is wide

enough for three global value columns, which is suitable for paper with 72 or 80

columns. The /WIDE option produces a listing that is six global-value columns

wide, which is equivalent to 132 columns.

/XM

Enables special .SETTOP and .LIMIT features provided in a mapped monitor.

This option allows a virtual job to map a scratch region in extended memory

with the .SETTOP programmed request. See the RT–11 System Macro Library

Manual and the RT–11 System Internals Manual for more details on these special

features.

To create an extended memory overlay structure for your program, use the

/PROMPT option. You can then specify the overlay structure on subsequent lines,

using the LINK (CSI) /V option (see the LINK chapters in the RT–11 System

Utilities Manual). When you use /V to create an overlay structure, the linker

automatically enables the special .SETTOP and .LIMIT features.
