In fact people usually say: load module - nevermind what is proper name of member/program in PDSE binary - could be ambiguous binary program - better a little EXE files/members - just analogy to PC-DOS or Windows world compiled program - one could discuss it is compiled and linked. RECFM=U library - usually correct, but generally speaking incorrect. IMHO it is IBM fault. For such cases it is IBM role to give us "the only proper name", just to simplify communication and make manuals more clear. Let's imagine some neologism like BINLOAD - for binary programs, a MEMLIB for PDS or PDSE, and BINLIB as MEMLIB for BINLOADs. I used to teach z/OS basics a lot, so I had to clarify such issues in limited timeframe and the explanation has to be clear, not covering all possible nuances and cases. BTW: Covid stopped classes completely so I miss teaching. Not because of money, but I miss contact with people, discussions, etc. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 28.10.2020 o 17:09, Frank Swarbrick pisze: > Load module or program object should be easy: executable, or binary > executable. > > ________________________________ > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> on > behalf of Seymour J Metz <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2020 8:48 AM > To: [email protected] <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Generic name for PDS/PDSE > > I use "PDS(E)", but what's the generic for "load module or program object"? > > I spell auto-correct as "auto-defect"; we hates it, precious.
