  • Bind showing old object even after adding /replacing a new define

    Hello All,

    I am trying to recompile a program. But this program is using a
    old submodule so I compiled it with new submodule version
    by adding a Define but it did not work.
    Then I did alter define but still after compilation the bind shows old object What can we do?
    Do we need to use Bind commands? Or we need to recompile with the submodule? --- Synchronet 3.21d-Linux NewsLink 1.2

    Can you provide a bit more information on this? How is the submodule referenced in code? What do you mean by "adding a define"? Modules on NonStop, unless DLLs, are not automatically relinked.

    Program A is calling a submodule X (say location $*.P.X). Changes were done in module X and compiled bt at
    Different location say $*.Q.X.
    Now when program A is compiled, the bind still shows $*.P.X even after I gave ALTER DEFINE, CLASS MAP filename
    Do I need to bind the program using bind commands?I checked the manual but did not get the exact procedure to do

    Could you please suggest

    As I indicated, you cannot dynamically link a submodule unless it is a DLL. The ALTER DEFINE will have no effect in your environment. You must relink the program. This involves going back to the proper BIND script and running it - assuming you have all the objects and references to the right file. Your development team should have this.
