I defer to the experts:

I like this word, which I don't remember hearing until fairly recently. It 
means 'probably on the road out of Supportsville but still working more or less 
as always'. Of course Dynamic LPA could not have been conceived without many 
advances now built in to z/OS. And as usual, the successor is more powerful and 
easier to use than its deprecated predecessor. 

OTOH I wonder in this case if the product in question was written to depend on 
MLPA control blocks such that DLPA would not work. That's a question for the 
vendor.

I was going to say "deprecated" (I trust Skip to correct me if the usage is 
incorrect :)  MLPA is still supported, but DLPA is greatly preferred.

CSAMIN can protect you from overrunning (E)CSA during a module reload, provided 
it is not set to (0,0).  See the z/OS MVS System Commands for details.
