Usage notes and command conventions
Each line of the LPA Display shows a program currently loaded in an MVS LPA. The programs may or may not be in use by a CICS region.
This display allows you to identify programs to be used when CICS accesses LPA programs. The default display shows only CICS programs.
This tools is excellent to use when determining if two MVS systems contain the same modules in the LPA. A program can be in more than one LPA.
