Program A issues a successful IDENTIFY for entry point ABC and then transfers control to program XYZ. (I have no source code for nor ability to fully understand the logic of program XYZ, nor to modify it.) Program XYZ subsequently invokes entry point ABC but ends up with a new copy loaded from STEPLIB rather than using the IDENTIFY entry address.
Why would that be? The documentation for IDENTIFY states that the entry point is always treated as RENT. The Services Guide says All reenterable modules (modules designated as reenterable using the linkage editor) from any library are completely reusable. Only one copy is normally placed in the link pack area or brought into your job pack area, and you get immediate control of the load module. However, there might be circumstances beyond your control that can cause an additional copy to be placed into your job pack area. The control program might do this, for example, to preserve system integrity. Can anyone elaborate?
