LOAD and DELETE

At times, you may wish to bring additional programs into storage, or obtain your own copy of a module that normally resides in the link pack area. If your program attempts to LOAD, LINK, XCTL, or ATTACH another module, the system looks for the module in the following search order sequence:

TASKLIB
STEPLIB
JOBLIB
LPA
LNKLST

If the module is not in any of these areas, it will not be found. To avoid this, bring the module into virtual storage by using the LOAD subcommand of TEST.

The LOAD command allows you to load a program from a data set. This program will be a fresh copy, placed in your own region, to which you can add breakpoints. (You cannot put breakpoints in LPA-resident modules because they are write-protected.)

DELETE allows you to remove the module from your region.
