A directed LOAD can, for example, be supplemented by a [degenerate] IDENTIFY to obtain the CDE that you may perhaps need and won't get from this LOAD alone;

IDENTIFY cannot be used to convert an "unnamed" area of virtual storage into a module with a CDE. It works only for that virtual storage covered by 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.
