Those symbols are not fully "invalid". They are available to IBM-code symbol substituters that choose to allow them. The DUMPDS command processing is such a substituter (I think the only intended one). The table should mention that (and similarly for &LDATE, <IME). Given that they are deprecated, they could certainly be moved out of the table into a separate section. >And all the local date/time related symbols are only >mentioned in the explanation of other symbols I have submitted a request to update to have the deprecated symbols put in a separate area, and add the "local time" symbols included as their own entries, not only as reference from the "UTC time" symbols. In the future, I encourage you to take the time to help yourself and presumably others by sending an appropriate email to the ID folks to ask for / suggest updates.
