That *had* IPCS?? It comes with the system!
and also permitted application programmers to use it.
I'm not aware of any SAF call or other method to prevent application programmers or anyone else from issuing the IPCS command under TSO/E. Is there?? Perhaps some popular, home-grown way of preventing IPCS access for all but sysprogs?? If so, why? Is there also some sort of popular exit to prevent them from placing SYSMDUMP DD statements into their jobs?
I started in MVT and then early VM/VSE/SP environments with some VS1 on the side. By the time I moved to MVS shops, they were so large that they followed the rule: "Everything permitted is mandatory; everything else is forbidden."
