If ZLINK compiles a routine and the /OBJECT= qualifier does not redirect the output, it places the resulting object file in the directory indicated by the search criteria. ZLINK incorporates the new object file into the image, regardless of its directory placement.

If the command does not specify compile qualifiers (with expr2) and $ZCOMPILE is null, GT.M uses the default M command qualifiers, /IGNORE, /LABELS=LOWER, /NOLIST, and /OBJECT. For more information on $ZCOMPILE, refer to the appropriate section in the "Intrinsic Special Variables" chapter in this manual. For detailed descriptions of the M command qualifiers, refer to the "Program Development Cycle" chapter in this manual.

For information on producing object files, but not adding them to the current image, refer to ZCOMPILE.
