Hello,

But if the "code" is a brand-new program, only one load-library should be enough.
Usually, the concatenations are not chosen per program. The same (standard) "steplib" is typically used for testing. This prevents confusion and sporadic "missing modules". Creating different concatenations or single-library steplibs for various tests should be discouraged if not disallowed.

Hi Dick,

This is discouraged at my site as well.

I wanted to make one point clear that one need a single Load module for some program. One might argue that s/he has same program residing in "baseline" & in "development-libraries" as well & so s/he can have two load modules of a single program..! But what if program is new program & was never "base-lined" before, what will be the coding standard then at their site..

For a given moment only one load module is in "use" & if it's new it would be found in the "development-libraries" only, this further stregthen the statement that there is no need of two different load-modules of a single program with different libraries.
