PMFJI here, but let me repeat what I have said before on this list - not every shop permits application programmers to use IPCS. I had to apply for special permission to use it for a complex production error a long time ago, but it is not allowed to be accessed by default.
All you sysprogs and ISV developers of course have it because it is defined as part of your job, but not every "plain user" management seems to agree that it should be universally available even to programmers.
