Hi Victor. Why should it be a problem state program? the idea is a single load, many reads, isn't it? after IPL, run a STC to load the data and create the name-token pair. later on, all users can access the data. As I wrote in my original response, there are several product that does that (table base for example. There are some product that are just the tool to do this (like matrix that stores your data in a dataspace(s) and even enable writes to storage from a problem state programs).
