2 part question on IMS PreLoad 

1. IMS PreLoad in MPP regions - COBOL 6.1 RENT REUS modules.  How is HEAP/STACK 
storage handled?

    When is the HEAP/STACK storage for the PreLoad modules allocated and 
released?
    Module LOADed under MPP startup TCB
      A. Storage allocated on LOAD.  
         Program does not get control or initialize
         Storage initialized on 1 execution
         Storage not released until MPP terminated
    or
      B. Storage allocated on 1st application program CALL
         Storage released at end of task (end of TCB = end of transaction 
thread)
    or 
      ?.

I believe scenario A. holds true; would like confirmation.

Brings up question 2.

2. IMS PreLoad in MPP region - Assembler program, REUS, not reentrant/NORENT.   
    IMS message:
      +DFS667I . NON-REENTRENT MODULES HAVE BEEN PRELOADED

    When does module get LOADed?   Re-LOADed?
      A. Module LOADed under MPP startup TCB
          ? when get DELETEd, re-LOADed?
    or
      B. Module *not* LOADed under MPP startup TCB;   
          Module LOADed under transaction/application on CALL as if the module 
was not in IMS PreLoad

Seeing indications of both; LOADed on startup but gets reLOADed at times.   
Cannot explain why or what should happen.

Thank you for your help folks.
