For a 3D magnetic field such as exists above sunspots or magnetic fragments of complex polarity or in prominence fields, it is suggested that reconnection may be defined to occur when there is a singular line (a field line with neighboring X-type topology and an electric field along it). In general there is a continuum of potential singular lines and which one supports reconnection depends on the flow or electric field. An example is given of how to drive reconnection all along any curved field line in a configuration with shear and it is found that strong plasma jetting occurs along the singular line. Thus in a sheared coronal configuration of potential singular lines, coronal heating may occur at small current sheets created at singular lines by the appropriate flows.
