Page alignment is what you'd expect. If you need any section aligned at greater than an 8-byte boundary (and you do), then the entire module needs to be obtained on greater than an 8-byte boundary, and the only choices made available for obtaining storage for modules are 8-byte boundary and page boundary. Since 8-byte boundary won't cut it, page alignment is used. That is for the entire module, not for individual sections within the module.
You have a simple linkedit. But that doesn't mean you have a simple assembly. And I suspect that you have some installation overrides to the default defaults (I noticed only that you have RMODEX=64TRUE which makes sense but is not the default default).

Here is a trivial example. I'm compiling with SECTALGN(256) and specifying no binder input other than a NAME statement: //LKED.SYSIN DD * NAME EJESAL3(R) My binder options passed in through JCL are: IEW2278I B352 INVOCATION PARAMETERS - NCAL,MAP,XREF,LIST=SUMMARY,COMPAT=ZOSV2R1,FETCHOPT=(PACK,PRIME),RMODEX=64TRUE,AC=0,REFR,RENT,REUS IEW2278I B352 IEWPARMS PARAMETERS - LISTPRIV=YES The binder output is shown below. Note the "PAGE ALIGN YES" in the SAVE MODULE ATTRIBUTES section. I would like to understand where that is coming from. I'm not specifying it, at least not intentionally. 1PROCESSING OPTIONS: ALIASES NO ALIGN2 NO AMODE UNSPECIFIED CALL NO CASE UPPER COMPAT ZOSV2R1 COMPRESS AUTO DCBS NO DYNAM NO EXTATTR UNSPECIFIED EXITS: NONE FILL NONE GID UNSPECIFIED HOBSET NO INFO NO LET 04 LINECT 060 LIST SUMMARY LISTPRIV YES LONGPARM NO MAP YES MAXBLK 032760 MODMAP NO MSGLEVEL 00 OVLY NO PRINT YES RES NO REUSABILITY REFRESHABLE RMODE UNSPECIFIED RMODEX 64TRUE SIGN NO STORENX NOREPLACE STRIPCL NO STRIPSEC NO SYMTRACE TERM NO TRAP ON UID UNSPECIFIED UPCASE NO WKSPACE 000000K,000000K XCAL NO XREF YES ***END OF OPTIONS*** 1SAVE OPERATION SUMMARY: MEMBER NAME EJESAL3 LOAD LIBRARY PHOENIX.TEST.LOADLIB PROGRAM TYPE PROGRAM OBJECT(FORMAT 5 OS COMPAT LEVEL z/OS V2R1 ) VOLUME SERIAL MVSPV3 DISPOSITION ADDED NEW TIME OF SAVE 15.33.19 MAY 4, 2023 1SAVE MODULE ATTRIBUTES: AC 000 AMODE 64 COMPRESSION NONE DC NO EDITABLE YES EXCEEDS 16MB NO EXECUTABLE YES LONGPARM NO MIGRATABLE YES OL NO OVLY NO PACK,PRIME YES,YES PAGE ALIGN YES REFR YES RENT YES REUS YES RMODE ANY SCTR NO SIGN NO SSI SYM GENERATED NO TEST NO XPLINK NO MODULE SIZE (HEX) 00004F00 DASD SIZE (HEX) 00007000 -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
