About a year ago, IBM documented an APAR for BLDL that allowed a "start"  and 
"stop" number to specify which data sets in a concatenation should be  
searched. Here's a link to the information...

(http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1OA09654) 
 
One beneficial effect of this seems to be to allow a program to  ultimately 
tell the system where to load a module from, even if the module  exists in more 
than one data set in the concatenation.
 
Does anyone know if there are any plans to provide the same type of support  
for DESERV and/or LLACOPY, especially since DESERV is IBM's recommended  
replacement for BLDL?
 
I think it is interesting that the GET_NAMES and GET_ALL functions of  DESERV 
allow a relative concatenation number to be specified, but the GET  function 
does not. Any ideas on why it was done this way?
 
Thanks,
Ira
