Does that mean I could change the object type of a user space to *pgm?

I think there are several problems with that:

1. Programs are pretty complex objects, including multiple segment
groups.  You'd have to generate at least some of that stuff.

2. The type/subtype of any object is contained in its entry in the
library object.  You'd have to change that if you wanted your program to
be in a library.

3. There's a bit (new in V5R3, I think) in the page tables I mentioned
previously, named Nex, meaning "No execute."  It's unset for the code
portion of programs, but set for user spaces.
