Answer / umesh sasankota

It depends on whether the compilation is Static or Dynamic.

Assuming Program A is calling Program B,C & D.

In Case of Static Compilation option (Compiler Option
NODYNM): Compile C first and then compile A. As no changes
in Programs B & D no compilation required for these 2 members.


In Case of Dynamic Compilation (Compiler Option DYNM), only
Program C need to be compiled.
