Job Pack Area is simply the modules that have already been loaded into your address space. The only place I've seen it defined is in https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieaa600/iea3a6_Location_of_the_load_module.htm <quote> Some of the load modules from the link library may already be in virtual storage in an area called the link pack area. The contents of these areas are determined during the nucleus initialization process and will vary depending on the requirements of your installation. The link pack area contains all reenterable load modules from the LPA library, along with installation selected modules. These load modules can be used by any job step in any job. With the exception of those load modules contained in this area, copies of all of the reenterable load modules you request are brought into your area of virtual storage and are available to any task in your job step. The portion of your area containing the copies of the load modules is called the job pack area. Any program loaded by a particular task is also represented within that task's load list. </quote> -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
