If a channel program tried to use MIDAW and it was disabled on the system level, IOS would fail the channel program with a PGM CHECK. I look at that same UCB bit and nowhere else. I trust the rest of the operating system to turn the bit on if the processor, controller, device, and parmlib settings all allow it. So far I haven't gotten any channel program checks, which by the way are detected by the Channel Subsystem (part of the processor hardware microcode) rather than IOS (software component of the operating system).
