Use the REFRPROT statement type to specify that REFR programs are

Therefore, any parts of the program that are on partial pages are n
The behavior for REFR is subject to operator and parmlib control. RENT goes
into key 0 if the library concatenation is APF.
There's no reason to flush the cache, and doing so would be a major performance
hit. With luck there an IBM Systems Journal article or redbook on the I-unit of

The really relevant point is that subpool 251 is fetch-protected (and
subpool 252 is not)
If you switch out of the subpool 251 key (and the module is in subpool 251
storage, not subpool 252), then you have no access to the storage of your

I wish this wasn't true, but we continue to move towards shutting down or

May I ask why you need to switch to key 9? That is very atypical. I
believe that the Storage Protect Override facility, as implemented in z/OS
with Key 9, was created so that CICS transactions could avoid accidental
overlays of CICS key 8 storage. So unless you're try

Thanks all. I am getting it now. I had the wrong mental model of how Rexx

I pictured it kind of like C or COBOL multi-dimensional arrays. I pictured
