I am working on a task of converting assembler program which has been used by a single process in to a program which would be used to process two parallel task.
Now my question is, whether MVS uses single copy of assembler program to process parallel tasks or it uses two different copy of same program to process two parallel tasks.
Answering this question might help me deciding whether to make program re-entrant or not.
Thanks,
Ankit |

Hi !
In normal batch-environment the ass-pgm is called via JCL.
So for two jobs using same pgm there are two copies of that programm in
system memory. |

It depends upon where the executable code is, a whole lot of system code is resident in storage while most application code is loaded into each region as needed.
If the parallel tasks are going to be executing in the same region, there will be only one copy for all tasks.

As a matter of clean coding, all code should be re-entrant. |
