No one has pointed out that it is impossible to place an 80mb module into PLPA / MLPA / FLPA. A PDS supports load modules of only 16MB, contrasted with a PDSE. You cannot get something from a PDSE into PLPA / MLPA / FLPA. You *can* get something from a PDSE into dynamic LPA. Therefore if you want

Thanks for the answer, Wayne. I remember that if a module comes from an APF lib and with RENT attribute, it'll be loaded into SP 252 of JPA. Since SP 252 is key 0, a modification to itself may fail unless you're in key 0. However, as far as LPA is concerned, is it protected using another mechanis

Two questions/comments: 1. Is the module AMODE 31 RMODE 31? If not, you are taking a sugnificant chunk of below the line storage. Is it worth it? If it is AMODE/RMODE 31, then you should be OK. 2. Is the module truly reentrant? If not, then it doesn't belong in LPA. Jon L. Veilleux [EMAIL PRO

Looking for recommendations on adding an 80 megabyte load module to the LPA. What are the negatives. The reason we would like to do this is that one of our application programs that use this module can be used by 1 to 10 jobs running at the same time. Our thought is that by making this modul
