I just picked an MFT 21.7 "Guide" from 1973 and it's in there as an optional feature. Right after the part about supporting up to fifteen concurrent jobs!
OTOH I am looking at an OS/360 System Programmer's Guide from 1971 and see no mention of it. It lists half a dozen system programming macros and there is no SMF write macro. I'm looking at an OS/360 Master Index from 1968. There is a reference for "SMF" but it is to an Algol Guide, so I suspect it is a different SMF. And I do not see System Management Facilities. I wonder if it did not come along as an optional feature of MFT?

Roughly when - release number or year - did System Management Facilities get added to MVS or its predecessor? Inquiring minds want to know, and it is Friday after all.
