Actually I was speculating about the ability to "refresh" in memory knowledge of the PDSE(s) in the other LPAR(s). What you describe is not guaranteed. Try 1. Run existing copy of the program in LPAR-P. 2. Quickly update it from LPAR-other. 3. Quickly try in LPAR-P. I don't believe you will always get the new version.
