I thought it was peculiarly sacred; immutable. But I've never tried a concatenate-deconcatenate operation. I'm trying to imagine what happens if one LOADs a module from the newly concatenated library with deferred fetch of the pages, then deconcatenates before all pages are fetched.

I have an allocate-and-concatenate wrapper to BPXWDYN in which I must test for and handle specially the case of a single element list. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
