Unless you are running with MVS disablement, the "V" in MVS means Virtual, the application doesn't care if the page is in or out, the system will handle the page fault. Now if you ARE running with disablement, you then use the TPROT instruction to ensure you aren't touching pages that aren't resident. If you know you need to access these pages, before you get into disabled state, you issue PGSER FIX to ensure that no page-outs will happen.
