I don't think these are comparable things. The LPA is built as part of the IPL process, but only load modules not programs objects can be loaded into PLA at that time because program objects live in PDS/Es. You can load program objects into dynamic LPA after IPL has completed, but this code is loaded elsewhere (CSA not LPA). Does this really matter, I hesitate to say yes. But, you can argue that the LPA is part of the "MVS kernel", and as such it might be desirable to be able to load program objects in the IPL phase already. Again, no strong feelings on the necessity on my side. However I always felt such basic things should move into the "kernel" one day or the other. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
