>Can PDSE be in the linklist yes, for the last 25 years or so. >or lpalist? no (and not too likely ever to be, any more than certain system data sets, such as SYS1.NUCLEUS, can be a PDSE). Dynamic LPA can be used to get modules from a PDSE into LPA.

I do not know. >None of >the GOFF object modules produced by the HLASM in recent weeks from my >own code could, for example, be included in one.
