I am not sure if this is still true, but a while ago we had a problem whereby a program would only work from steplib and not a linklib. It turned out that certain options such as RENT were only enforced if the module resided in an apf authorized linklib. So our module had been link-edited with the RENT option but was not really reentrant, so it abended when the RENT attribute was enforced.

In this concatenation, all or none should be APFed depending on the requirement of the program(s). I am a$$uming ALL the programs required for that job is sitting in any of those STEPLIB libraries. >When I remove LIB1 and LIB2 it doesn't work. How so? Any messages or abends? >Is it because lack of explicit APF authirization? Perhaps, but it depends where the program modules are fetched from. If a program is NOT fetched at all from any of those STEPLIB libraries, then Linklist is searched instead.
