<snip> - Is the INIT routine run under the region control task, or under the started task control task (I suspect the latter)? </snip>
Why do you care under which task the routine runs? You should probably not be doing anything that cares. FWIW, it does not run under the RCT task. And it does not run under the dump task either. It certainly runs under a task that is older than the jobstep program task (which has not yet been identified since the proc has not yet been read). Why does more need to be stated? <snip> - Have any allocations asked for via DD statement in the procedure already been done? Your observation seems to indicate: yes, they have. </snip> No they have not. "Before" is "before".
