Executable - that could mean REXX or CLIST.
In fact people usually say:
load module - nevermind what is proper name of member/program in PDSE
binary - could be ambiguous
binary program - better a little
EXE files/members - just analogy to PC-DOS or Windows world
compiled program - one could discuss it is compiled and linked.
RECFM=U library - usually correct, but generally speaking incorrect.
IMHO it is IBM fault.
For such cases it is IBM role to give us "the only proper name", just to
simplify communication and make manuals more clear.
Let's imagine some neologism like BINLOAD - for binary programs, a
MEMLIB for PDS or PDSE, and BINLIB as MEMLIB for BINLOADs.
I used to teach z/OS basics a lot, so I had to clarify such issues in
limited timeframe and the explanation has to be clear, not covering all
possible nuances and cases.
BTW: Covid stopped classes completely so I miss teaching. Not because of
money, but I miss contact with people, discussions, etc.

Load module or program object should be easy: executable, or binary executable.

I use "PDS(E)", but what's the generic for "load module or program object"?
I spell auto-correct as "auto-defect"; we hates it, precious. Of course, some of the
"corrections" are hilarious.
I would interpret "MVS library" as DSNTYPE=LIBRARY, but I wouldn't bet on that
being correct.

Grrr. As a frequent writer of documentation I struggle with that one.
I would say either "PDS(E)" (which my PC keeps trying to auto-correct to PDS)
or a preamble something like
"In this document, the term PDS means either a Partitioned Dataset (PDS) or a
Partitioned Dataset Extended (PDSE) unless the context clearly demands otherwise."
I personally at least would have to think "what the heck does he mean?" every time I
encountered "MVS library."

Subject: Generic name for PDS/PDSE
Is there a standard "generic" name for PDS/PDSE? Is it "PDS(E)"? Or maybe something like
"MVS library" or "MVS dataset library"?
