In Eunixland, isn't an executable anything with execute permission, including text files beginning with a shebang? And what if you want to refer only to load modules and program objects, not to Eunix files?

I spell auto-correct as "auto-defect"; we hates it, precious. Of course, some of the "corrections" are hilarious. I would interpret "MVS library" as DSNTYPE=LIBRARY, but I wouldn't bet on that being correct. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

As a frequent writer of documentation I struggle with that one. I would say either "PDS(E)" (which my PC keeps trying to auto-correct to PDS€) or a preamble something like "In this document, the term PDS means either a Partitioned Dataset (PDS) or a Partitioned Dataset Extended (PDSE) unless the context clearly demands otherwise." I personally at least would have to think "what the heck does he mean?" every time I encountered "MVS library."

Is it "PDS(E)"? Or maybe something like "MVS library" or "MVS dataset library"?
