It depends on the options you're using on SWAREQ. Take a look at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=mode-description under "Programming Requirements", and it states that LOCEPAX=YES is needed when using SWAREQ UNAUTH=YES. The SWAREQ functions that are documented as programming interfaces do not require LOCEPAX=VR2.
