The following is a partial list of components and products that support program objects:

• Program objects are supported by the following DFSMS utilities/services:

  • IEHLIST
  • IEHPROGM
• Program objects are not supported by the following DFSMS utilities:
  • IEHMOVE
  • IEBDG
  • IEBGENER
  • IEBPTPCH
• DFdss support includes:
  • DUMP and RESTORE of PDSE Program Libraries, but without conversion, for example, a dumped PDSE Program Library can not be restored to a PDS.
  • COPY between PDSE and PDS Program Libraries. The binder will be invoked automatically and each of the members will be converted.
• ISPF supports the copy of PDSE program libraries or members. The binder options are supported transparently in background (option 5.7); the foreground (option 4.7) invokes the TSO LOAD/GO Prompter which invokes the binder.
• TSO/E Test supports program objects in PM1 format or which have contents compatible with PM1 format. Also, it can only obtain information from those program objects for which the DCB used to load them from their program libraries is accessible. This means that TSO/E Test can not be used to test program objects that were loaded by LLA or loaded into LPA.

The following is a partial list of components and products that do not support program objects:
