I just submitted the RCF below. But if I've misunderstood something
that should be "common knowledge", let me know and I'll send a retraction.

Hello, MHVRCFs,
In:
z/OS MVS Program Management: User's Guide and Reference
SA23-1393-00
ORDER statement
...
The syntax of the ORDER statement is:
ORDER section name[(P)]
... with a single section name as the argument. But the examples in the
next section show a comma separated list of section names. I believe
the syntax should show:
ORDER section name[(P)][,...]
... indicating that additional section names, separated by commas, may follow.
otherwise, I'm confused by:
The ORDER statement indicates that the section is to be loaded on a page
boundary. ....
This seems to indicate that the mere occurrence of a name in an ORDER
statement causes the section to be page-aligned. But:
(P) Indicates the starting address of the control section or named common
area is on a page boundary ...
seems to indicate the (P) modifier is needed to enforce page-alignment. Perhaps
I don't understand the nuances of "section" versus "control section". The
diagram
in the next section seems to show that only (P) causes page alignment.
Thanks,
gil
