I am not aware of native rexx support for LOAD. You could write a rexx
function in assembler. I believe if you look at the CBT web site there
is at least a single example of this.
This technique is something I use when I see machine instructions and I
don't know how to decode them. You may be able to adapt this to your
use. I issue TEST 'SYS1.LINKLIB(IEFBR14)'. I issue
"+0=x'opcode-2-decode'". Then I issue "L +0 I". To exit just issue
"END". Note that no updates will be made to 'SYS1.LINKLIB(IEFBR14)'.
You could use the previous technique on a program you already have
available on your system that issues a LOAD macro. Just zap the LOAD
parameter list using TEST sub-commands so that it loads the module you
require. Then have the LOAD macro code execute. You would wrap all these
TEST sub-commands in a clist (yes a clist). I normally don't use TEST in
a rexx exec however it may be possible. I know this is ugly but it meets
your requirement of avoiding assembler coding. ;-)
If this is for production work I would recommend writing the rexx
function unless you have another way to read the load module (for
example read and parse the load module source).

Is this possible to load (not link) a module into storage using Rexx? We
have a compiled table I need to examine using rexx and want to avoid
assembler coding in order to make the application simple. Thanks for your
ideas.
