Well there's another flag, which is "REUSable". This says, it can be loaded once, used multiple times, but only one instance at a time. I think this comes near to what you explain. REUS is, as Charles said, not the same as RENT.

Oxymoron. If it cannot be multitasked in a single jobstep then it is technically *not* reenterable, regardless of how it is marked. Assigning the RENT option does not magically make a module reenterable. >I'm writing documentation and would like to apply the correct term to >the IBM FTP client, which has the RENT bit set but which uses the >hard-coded DD names INPUT and OUTPUT and therefore effectively cannot >be multi-tasked in a single jobstep or region.
