>- Adding a module to the link pack area implies both APF authorization and >reentrance, is that correct? Well, not exactly. Depends what you mean about APF authorization. If the module is executed in JCL, it will be APF authorized only if it is linked AC=1. Modules in LPA are required to be reentrant, but AFAIK they are not validated for that when they are loaded. Having been loaded into LPA does not imply that they are reentrant. The definition of reentrable has changed in recent years. The old definition allowed a program to modify itself as long as it provided for proper serialization. A refreshable program was not allowed to modify itself. The distinction has been rendered meaningless with the new definition of reentrable.
