Thanks, Tom. I wish they would put a little more informal "how it works" (like what you wrote!) in the manuals. There's not one (relevant) word about CSVDYLPA in the Authorized Assembler Guide (or if there is I did not manage to find it, which from the user's point of view is the same thing).
The fear is that you miss one "gotcha" and head down a wrong path. They did a very nice job on CSVDYLPA from the point of view of options, and the documentation is very thorough in terms of details. Great return codes, it looks like. No ERRET= or anything like that to deal with.

To add to Binyamin's comments, if you want to delete a module from LPA that you had added with CSVDYLPA, you must do it explicitly. When you add a module to LPA using CSVDYLPA and that name is already in LPA, you end up with two modules with the same name.
