%LOAD

If the current program is part of a fetched or called load module, then %LOAD contains the name of the load module.

If the current program is in the load module that was initially loaded, then %LOAD contains an asterisk (*).

z/OS® Debugger uses the value of %LOAD when you make an unqualified reference to a program or variable.

To change the current load module, use the SET QUALIFY command.

When the Dynamic Debug facility is deactivated (by entering the SET DYNDEBUG OFF command) or SVC screening is disabled¹, z/OS Debugger does not recognize load modules that have been loaded by the MVS LOAD service.
