Depending on what he wants, reading it with Rexx could be a chore, albeit
not impossible. Don't forget that key load module data is stored in the
directory entry. Much of the directory entry is logically part of the load
module. And it's not in the most friendly format for programs without good
binary arithmetic and indexing capabilities. (But yes, do-able.)

Depending on what he wants to do, formatting it in hex with Superzap (as
John suggested) or another utility and parsing the listing with Rexx could
be a good option.

I guess that I'm going to ask: "What do you mean by READ?". A load
module or program object is "readable" by REXX as-is. Now, understanding
