I'm confused what's wrong with PEP Module?
It's the term that is used within the CRTPGM command (additional parameters,
first option!)
In the English Version you'll find "Program entry procedure module" in the
German version it is shortened to "PEP Modul" (I think because of
translation, even though Programmeingangsprozedur can also be shortened to
PEP either).

Online help:
"Specifies the module name that contains the program entry procedure
specification to be used for this program."

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

hi Birgitta,

I understand what you mean...  You mean to say "entry module."

But, I wanted to point out that you are using the wrong term.  The PEP 
is a routine generated by the compiler.  Likewise, a "PEP module" (if 
such a think exists) would be something generated by the compiler... and 
IBM routine, not something you wrote!

When you invoke the CALL command, it calls the PEP (generated by 
compiler), the PEP calls the UEP (user-entry procedure... the main 
procedure of your entry module.)  So you should say "only the module 
containing the UEP is bound directly", or simply "only the entry module 
is bound directly."

Just FYI.
