Frank, I take your point about the use of the binder option COMPAT(LKED). It does ensure that no load module that contains a non-reentrant HLASM module will be marked RENT.
I am not, however, sure that COMPAT(LKED) is free of other disabilities. It ensures, for example, that target executables will be PDS-resident load modules, not PDSE-resident program objects. It may preclude use of some LE facilities, for the use of which PM3 must minimally be specified. (The manual text is not entirely clear: we are abjured to avoid the notion that COMPAT is necessarily a lower level than PM1; but it is silent about where PM3 fits into this partial ordering.)
