The terms 'non-executable' and 'not executable' are ambiguous. The

o either executable|defective in the sense that attempted execution may

o or, again, contains executable code|contains only data(tables).
For the second case ONLY and ONLY for program objects having the GOFF
attribute that are stored in PDSEs, i.e., not for traditional load
modules stored in PDSs, see page 231 of the HLASM LR, which describes
the use of the attribute keyword REFERENCE in the XATTR assembler
statement.
Briefly here, REFERENCE(CODE) is coded for program objects containing
executable code and REFERENCE(DATA) is coded for program objects that
contain only data/tables.

I'm sorry, but this seems to have come out of nowhere. Are you
replying to an earlier post? Did that come on the newsgroup and
not the listserv so that some of us didn't see the original? If
so, would you please quote the orignal post when replying?
Kind regards,
