It's partly an ISPF thing; they broke the TSO attention paradigm many years ago. Even the most basic use of ATTN doesn't work properly under ISPF; once you've hit it, you can't return to the command in progress, as you can if you started from a READY prompt. Another problem - and a more fundamental one - is that if the serious work is being done in a system routine (SVC, PC, or system state code), attention processing will usually be deferred.
