Lindy, if your program is loaded from STEPLIB it doesn't matter if your program is rent or not as it's loaded into non protected storage unless you have CSVRENTPROTECT in you DIAGxx member.
However all of my programs are RENT and coding NORENT is for me just a lazy programming style in these day. Same apply to RMODE24 or AMODE24. In these days were are several possibilities to anchor a getmained area for reuse e.g. Name/Token services.
