IEBCOPY's requirement for APF is problematical.  Try LOOKAT IEB1099I
for an elliptic hint.  IBM cleaned up the M&C for IEB1099I and IEB1099E
in response to my RCF a few years ago, but declined to clarify in the RM
"when it can not avoid using a service requiring authorization", stating
that IBM preferred not to commit to a specification.  I don't respect
that; sometimes it works, sometimes it fails, IBM won't document it.

But I regularly, now that I think of the code, use an EXEC that does
CALL *(IEBCOPY) with no TSOEXEC, and used to fail when I used ATTCHMVS.
(I remember the failures better than the solution.)

How does all that relate to AUTHPGM?

Confirmed by experience.
