COBOL RENT Compiler Option.

Using the RENT compiler option causes the compiler to generate some additional code to ensure that the program is reentrant.
Reentrant programs can be placed in shared storage like the Link Pack Area (LPA) or the Extended Link Pack Area (ELPA).
Also, the RENT option will allow the program to run above the 16 MB line. Producing reentrant code may increase the execution time path length slightly.
Performance considerations using RENT:
On the average, RENT was equivalent to NORENT.
RMODE - AUTO, 24, or ANY
The RMODE compiler option determines the RMODE setting for the COBOL program. When using RMODE(AUTO), the RMODE setting depends on the use of RENT or NORENT. For RENT, the program will have RMODE ANY.
For NORENT, the program will have RMODE 24. When using RMODE(24), the program will always have RMODE 24. When using RMODE(ANY), the program will always have RMODE ANY.
Note: When using NORENT, the RMODE option controls where the WORKING-STORAGE will reside. With RMODE(24), the WORKING-STORAGE will be below the 16 MB line. With RMODE(ANY), the WORKING-STORAGE can be above the 16 MB line.
