Since the default for APF is still "STATIC", if someone didn't have an APF FORMAT(DYNAMIC) statement in their IPL-time PROGxx (or some other PROGxx or SETPROG used after IPL), they'd still be using the static APF list. They could change to dynamic after IPL if they had a need to.
Now that it's more than 10 years since we introduced the function, we may well change the default. The caveat is that when you IPL in DYNAMIC mode (as would be the case with a changed default when there was no statement asking for STATIC), if there really is some ancient vendor code that was never updated that the customer stumbles over they cannot fall back to STATIC without a re-IPL. If you change to DYNAMIC after IPL, you can fall back to STATIC in the case of a problem (though in such a case you would lose any dynamic changes that you made). Hence, I too am interested in anyone who (intentionally) is using "STATIC". Certainly our recommendation is that you be using dynamic.
