How does the HLASM support the RSECT?
HLASM checks RSECTs for reentrancy violations, as though the RENT option had been specified on a CSECT basis. Because Program Objects are capable of creating multiple independently relocatable segments, the idea of RSECT was to provide an attribute that might some day be used by the Binder and Program Loader to create read-only segments. Other attributes on the HLASM CATTR statement are not supported by the binder; they are intended for potential future use. This entry was taken from a post by John R. Ehrman (Father of the HLASM) on the Assembler mailing list dated Tue, 10 Jul 2001 10:20:05 PDT.
