Well, here's my idea... (no proof though)
To me "higher priority" would mean it is the one that runs.... so even
if there is a copy in storage, it won't be run, instead favoring the
"higher priority" copy on DASD.
I don't know where/how the priority gets set though... :-( (Perhaps an
undocumented feature of EXECLOAD?)

I'm wondering what "priority" means in HELP EXECSTAT:
With the RESident Option:
Code Meaning
0 Exec exists in storage. Register 1 contains pointer to the fileblock.
4 Exec exists in storage and there is another one on dasd that has a
higher priority. Register 1 contains a pointer to the fileblock.
I see no description of "priority" there, nor in HELP for EXECMAP or
EXECLOAD. I hoped it meant "the copy on disk is newer" but no.
Ideas?
