They might be out of date, but requirements of compatiblity and the cost to IBM of changes make them somewhat relevant. They're easily accessible the other choice being MVT which probably worked the same (for this case). Or the old MVT/MVS program logic manuals. > >* ... > >* A.

You don't want to go there... From memory: non-reuseable -> ignored, LINK will go get another copy serial reuseable -> LINK will wait until it's not in use If it's RENT then it will get used if the name matches even if it was fetched from a private library (at least on MVS SP?). I had a small program (non-auth) in linklst which would preload a list of RENT modules from a private library and then XCTL to a specified target. This let me run ISPF with my modules in JPQ without a steplib. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
