<snip> LOAD with GLOBAL=YES also performs the same function flawlessly -- and comes with the additional feature of automatic cleanup at termination time (assuming that's the behavior you want). </snip>
The "automatic cleanup at termination" is in almost 100% of cases considered a system integrity error (or at least a RAS error) since it requires a lot of care to be certain that no code can be executing within that address range at the time of your termination (and the accompanying automatic cleanup). If the program within there is not currently dispatched (or even if it is, but less likely), then the storage is reused for "something else", upon re-dispatch results are (at best) unpredictable. If you are lucky it will blow up. So think very carefully before using LOAD with GLOBAL=YES.
