If your IDENTIFY was for a module originally loaded from LPA, then I
don't think DELETE cleans everything up, otherwise I agree with
Shmuel, et al that DELETE is the un-IDENTIFY.

Shmuel, I still think you have this wrong.

Let's assume that no such entry point as ZZZ exists anywhere on our system,
okay?

I issue a LOAD EP=ZZZ and it fails. This is my initial condition. This is
the condition in which our hypothetical process starts and to which it
should return if it wishes to leave things as it found them.

It issues an IDENTIFY EP=ZZZ.

Now LOAD (and DELETE) EP=ZZZ succeed.

What macro could the program issue now to get back to its original state,
the one in which ZZZ did not exist? Not DELETE. No matter how many DELETEs I
issue for ZZZ, a LOAD EP=ZZZ will still succeed.

So the question remains, what is the un-IDENTIFY function?

IDENTIFY is analogous to LOAD.

Water is wet.

>it does not "destroy" a created entry point, does it?

It does if the use count goes to zero.
