OK, I'll bite. In what way would having an MNOTE issued from STAE help someone? STAE is fully supported (and will be forever); it is just that there are better things out there, especially considering that STAE does not even support AMODE 31. If you're currently happy with your use of STAE, what benefit is there to your changing your (presumably working) program from its current use? If the MNOTE was a "warning" (CC=4), current users would be very unhappy. If it was CC=0 then you'd have to know to search for the MNOTE (unless you stumbled over it), and if you did know to search for it, you'd know enough just to scan for STAE.
And if you're "new" and looking at documentation, you will see that the first line of the documentation for STAE contains Note: IBM recommends that you use the ESTAEX macro or ESTAE macro rather than STAE.
