I have run into a situation I have never seen before and did not think was possible. I must be missing something, but I haven't got a clue as to what.
I have a batch program (A) that is re-entrant. However, statically linked to it is a program (B) that is not re-entrant. When this program B is called, it stores program (A)'s R13 in a save area within program (B)'s own storage. No ABEND, no program check. I used to think this was worthy of an 0C4. This program (B) issues a LOAD EP=C and stores the entry point address of the loaded program (C) in a data area within program (B). Again, no 0C4. Program (B) then CALLs the loaded program (C), which is also link-edited as re-entrant. Module (C) stores all kinds of data in data areas within itself. Again, no 0C4. The three programs involved are are all Assembler and linked RN, RU, even though two of them (B) and (C) are not re-entrant (my error). They are all in the same load library which is the only library the the batch job step's STEPLIB. None of the programs is in the LPA, nor is the library in the LINKLIST, nor are the programs in any other LINKLISTed library. My z/OS V1R10 image is a guest running under z/VM. Can someone suggest how these programs that are marked as re-entrant can be loaded and executed without error even though they are storing data within themselves?
