But only if the program is not fetched from an APF-authorized concatenation (and maybe that's a requirement for PL/I programs with this characteristic). In that case, the program can write into the program itself too. For the static csect, does PL/I do something to keep track of CSECT mappings and obtain storage for the static csect in user-key storage? That's the only way that writing into that csect could "overcome" APF authorization rules.
