I agree with Ed Jaffe's reply: Using CVTLINK is just fine. The system treats that as "use the LNKLST that this address space is using" whether that be the IPL-time LNKLST or some other..
LOAD with ADDR= is relatively absurd, imo, unless you provide a directory entry (in which case you do not have to provide a DCB because you have already used the DCB to locate the directory). You have to know the length of the module in order to obtain the storage into which to put the module. And for that you need the directory entry. That is probably a reason that DCB is needed when you don't provide a directory entry. At least if you provide a DCB you have a chance of knowing where the module is coming from and, if it's yours, have a chance of knowing how big it is.
