But the PMAR data IS available via GETD request, as Peter Morrison pointed out, so it possible (if not necessary) to get that data from the Binder API.
And the EPA offset is in the PMAR data, as an earlier reply pointed out. Having an EPA offset allows the EPA CSECT to also be located in the ESD ED rows when combined with the class segment offset as needed for real Program Objects (COBOL V5 et al, C/C++, etc.) as opposed simpler load modules.

I guess I should have spoken more plainly. I'd say it's not there because it is not needed. If you are including the module for subsequent saving, you can preserve the entry point by using ATTRIB=YES on the INCLUDE. And you can specify entry points when you add new aliases. But you can't AFAIK extract what the current entry point is set to. It is not needed because it does not affect the internal structure of the module. You do know the entry point will be in the first class - the one at offset zero when the module is loaded - so it is reasonably easy to determine the entry point symbol (or at least a symbol at the same offset), but I agree it is not quite as simple as being told "the answer" directly.
