how many common area exist in the whole z/OS system?
only one common area that shared by all address space or every address space has one copy?
when modules defined in the linklist to be executed,where these modules should be load into? the common area or the private area?

these questions have puzzled me for a long time,please help me make it clear,thanks in advance!!

dbzTHEdinosauer-
every address space has private area and common area that it shares with other address spaces..

and all the manuals say it as AREA which you are not aware of i think..

nevilh-
that means Job pack area is not a part of common area.. so is it under private area..

anuj-
did not hear from you again.. LPA<-->JPA

all-
i had no idea of what a job pack area is.. so i posted this query hoping that somebody will give a clear answer..
