When your application is working you might want to make it independent of your COBOL development system so you can distribute
               it for use on other binary-compatible machines. To do this you use the UNIX system linker. 
               	 
            
 
            	 
            Note: 
               		
                
                  		  
                  - You can link your program only if you have a C/Operating System Development System installed on your machine. This provides
                     the system tools that the Cob utility needs such as ld, the system linker. 
                     		  
                  
  
                  		  
                  - You can only run your application on another system if 
                     			 COBOL Server and the requisite licenses are available on that system.
