My presumptuous assumption was that RENT was always honored when specified.
Not the first time I've been WRONG!!
I only need to persuade myself to turn on REFRPROT, and I will do just that once I'm sure I can get out of that choice safely and
easily (i.e., dynamically with a SET PROG= command).
We don't need to discuss RENT and REFR, but I certainly need to read up on them again. I'm sure that what I remember and what is
true have long ago drifted apart.

Can someone suggest how these programs that are marked as re-entrant can be

Classically, unless the program is loaded from an APF-authorized library,
it is loaded into writable storage. Recently, in z/OS, it can be loaded from
a non-authorized library into write-protected storage. But that's an
installation option, and to select it you'd need to persuade a z/OS
systems administrator to do something new. Some people believe that's
difficult.
I think it was a design oversight that got institutionalized.
We can now discuss the nuances of RENT and REFR.
