/LIBRARY
/NOLIBRARY
Positional qualifier.
The associated input file to the /LIBRARY qualifier must be a
macro library. The default file type is MLB. The /NOLIBRARY
qualifier has the same effect as not specifying the /LIBRARY
qualifier, or negates the effects of any /LIBRARY qualifiers
specified earlier in the command line.
The compiler can search up to 16 libraries, one of which
is always STARLET.MLB. This number applies to a particular
compilation, not necessarily to a particular MACRO command. If
you enter the MACRO command so that more than one source file is
compiled, but the source files are compiled separately, you can
specify up to 16 macro libraries for each separate compilation.
More than one macro library in a compilation causes the libraries
to be searched in reverse order of their specification.
A macro call in a source program causes the compiler to begin the
following sequence of searches if the macro is undefined:
1. The libraries specified with the .LIBRARY directive are
searched first, in reverse order of the order in which they
were declared.
2. If the macro definition is not found in any of the libraries
specified with the .LIBRARY directive, a search of the
libraries specified in the MACRO command line (in the reverse
order in which they were specified).
3. If the macro definition is not found in any of the libraries
specified in the command line, a search of STARLET.MLB.
