Shared Library    (PPT)

DESCRIPTION
The "Shared Library" specifies a shared object library that contains the
system executable for the program identified in the "Program" datapoint. 
The value reflects the "Shared Library" field from the Sun MTP Processing 
Program Table (PPT).


VALUES
A "Shared Library" value can have a maximum of sixteen characters. It
may include a pathname prefix. The .so extension associated with shared 
object libraries is excluded from the "Shared Library" value.


INTERPRETATION
The shared object library resides in a directory relative to the $KIXSYS
value unless the KIXLIB environment variable is set to a valid pathname. 
It contains the "Program" executable required for execution by Sun MTP 
when the program is initiation by a transaction.  All shared object 
libraries listed in the Sun MTP PPT are opened when Sun MTP initializes
its transaction processors. When a transaction is initiated, the relevant
shared library is opened once again, to ensure that any dynamic change in 
the PPT, since transaction processor initialization, has been captured.


CONCLUSIONS
A "Program" with a corresponding "Shared Library" value indicates a PL/I
application program.
