My memory is hazy on this. Been digging through various manuals for z/OS 1.13. [Haven't had to do real sysprog stuff since z/OS 1.4...]
I seem to recall something about Named LNKLST. But I can't find anything on it in the current manuals (I have some number of PDFs on my hard drive for z/OS 1.13). I have also been looking at ABCs of z/OS Systems Programming VOL2 (SG24-6982). Or have I completely confused a couple of concepts? What I am trying to do is improve performance of certain "systems", and I thought there was a way to have LLA w/VLF do this but my brain keeps rebelling - Perhaps my problem is my brain has hard associated LLA with Linklist Look Aside as opposed to Library Look Aside? But I thought you do not want to take your "user" LOADLIBs and put them into the LNKLST. And it seems to me if you don't do that, you can't get a performance boost from LLA/VLF. What is bringing this up are things I have found in looking at CICS/TS 5.1 and COBOL 5.1. Since COBOL 5.1 is going to require PDSE and certain ISV products we have are documented as not doing so well with PDSE over PDS... It seems to me that we would want to use the LLA/VLF "native" route. IFF it is actually going to provide a performance boost over no management of LOADLIB concatenations. So what are the pros and cons of this (other than in a PLEX, especially, we have to do LLA Refresh...)?
