I'm sorry - I hate to start up this "reentrant" thing again but would anyone (everyone? <g>) like to suggest a term to describe a program that is technically reentrant but that cannot be multi-tasked in a single jobstep due to some hard-coded externality? This is not just an excuse to re-start a semantics war. I'm writing documentation and would like to apply the correct term to the IBM FTP client, which has the RENT bit set but which uses the hard-coded DD names INPUT and OUTPUT and therefore effectively cannot be multi-tasked in a single jobstep or region.
