the extent list of an existing module created with LOAD (using a normal,
non-directed LOAD) or LINK(X), ATTACH(X), XCTL(X). Otherwise you get return
code x'0C' from IDENTIFY.
and all this is of course entirely correct.
There are, however, some 'dirty tricks' available for making an IDENTIFY
usable in these circumstances, following a directed LOAD for which
appropriate preparations are made before that LOAD is issued. I did not
specify what these dirty tricks are for reasons that I tried to make clear
in my original post.
