Linker/Locator 9−25
Once a module is named in the invocation it is possible to make controls
affect this module by using the module scope switch.
Remarks:
All controls used in the link stage are general controls.
In all link and locate controls the commas are optional.
9.11.1 THE MODULE SCOPE SWITCH
With the module scope switch you can tell the locator to switch the scope
to a previous module in the invocation. A module scope switch can be
permanent or temporary. The syntax of a scope switch is as follows:
{filename|GENERAL} permanent module scope switch
{filename|GENERAL controls } temporary module scope switch
All module scope controls following a permanent module scope switch
affect the filename mentioned in the module scope switch or these
controls get a GENERAL scope and affect all input modules. Using
{GENERAL} is equal to using the GENERAL control.
The temporary module scope switch has the same effect as the permanent
module scope switch, but it affects only the controls between the filename
or GENERAL and the closing brace (}). Temporary module scopes can be
nested up to eight levels deep.
The temporary module scope switch can also be used at defined places
inside the controls. See the description of these controls for more
information. The permanent scope switch cannot be used inside controls.
