Regarding CSVDYLPA REQUEST=ADD
.
The documentation states:
.Modules added to the system via dynamic LPA processing are placed into CSA or 
ECSA storage.
.
Further more It is expected that the caller will free the work area, using 
either FREEMAIN or STORAGE RELEASE, after processing it.

Does this mean the work area used by CSVDYLPA is also acquired from CSA/ECSA 
storage since the caller is responsible for freeing the storage
occupied by the "work area" ?

No it does not mean that. There is no such correlation either stated or implied.

Where is the referenced documentation? I don't see it in the 2.5 IBM Docs site. 
It appears to be paraphrased, which is rarely a good idea for communicating 
detailed info. CSVDYLPA does not have a "work area". It has an "output area". 
The documentation about outareasp describes the subpool that is used (the 
system chooses a subpool - 230 - only if you do not do so). That is for the 
cases where the system does not write the info to the area provided by the 
caller which identifies the names to process.
