Actually it returns the AMODE of the LOAD'ed module in GPR0. Perhaps the OP was
a bit "loose" in his phrasing.

Quite. Sorry about that. Of course, LOAD doesn't set any
PSW amode bits, since the service does not run the loaded
module. But if the AMODE of the loaded module is any, then
the returned amode bits (in GPR0) are based on the AMODE
of the invoker.

LOAD is a system service; it will set the bits to the AMODE of the
program issuing the service call.

Are you sure?
