If you're curious, what I've been told happens (Objection! That is hearsay, your honor!) is that when a program does an BPAM OPEN of a DD, OPEN checks every DSN allocated to the DD and if every single of of them is APF authorized, then OPEN sets a bit in the DEB which basically says "this DEB describes an APF library or concatenation". Program fetch then checks this bit when loading a program using the DEB if it needs to enforce the "must be in APF library" rule.
