No, it's what the standard SAYS. "static items ..  are allocated no later th

If you're talking about dynamic load, the first call is program load time. T
he first call
after cancel is another load.

No it doesn't. We went over this a month ago, when we discussed ELF-style li
nking (loaded
with the run unit) of Fujitsu programs. In that case, CANCEL did nothing, in
 violation of
the standard. The CANCELled program was NOT reinitialized. Now you are claim
ing it is.

Not if it is a FACTORY object.
