Sorry but I don't understand what re-entrancy has to do with how storage is

Care to explain?

I was referring to the practice of using GETMAIN to acquire working storage
areas. This technique is most often employed by RENT programs.


Also, I assume by "have no control over the backing of storage" you meant that
most older programs don't specify the required backing for their GETMAIN?

No. I meant that programs don't have control over where the storage, into which
they are loaded by the contents supervisor, is backed.
