The oldest manual on the web is MVS/ESA V5 commands and it isn't documented that you could. However, OS/390 R1, which was essentially the same as MVS/ESA V5 did document it. http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA1G101/4.42.1?SHELF=EZ239701&DT=19960424105020 MVS/ESA SP 5 MVS commands: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA5G100/4.41.1?SHELF=EZ2MV122&DT=19940415101120#HDRSKP1 There are plenty of people on this list who have MVS 3.8 systems running, perhaps they could try a START command with MSGCLASS or some other JOBCARD only keyword) and see if it works to verify your statement.
