Good point. I dunno. I am obviously less than a total expert. FWIW I am only explicitly loading FOO #2 which *is* RENT REUS.
The system is loading FOO #1, which is the NORENT FOO. It's MVS's problem. MVS seems to manage lots of NORENT programs with no problem, so I think this is going to be okay. I'm also using LINK, not LOAD/BALR. I believe LINK manages usage counts and deletion implicitly. DELETE is not my problem in any event. Life is good.
