To (my)self: Open mouth, insert foot. Or its analog in typing. I was thinking of the ASTE sequence number, not the ASTE instance number. The ASTE instance number is indeed set when an address space starts, changed only when an ASID is reused. And matches ASSBISQN (which then, correctly, unlike

Compressing REXX executable code in large packages is reasonable if the uncompressed form is available for maintenance. OS/2 has a neat trick; the first time you call a REXX script, the compiler saves the tokenized code in an extended attribute; the next time you call it, the interpreter uses
