Is this welcome relaxation for SYMBOLICRELATE a recent innovation?

I can't find this statement, not in the 2.3 IDCAMS Command Ref. nor in
DFSMS Managing Catalogs.  The former lists both RELATE and SYMBOLICRELATE
as "Required Parameters" then goes on to say they are mutually exclusive.

But I trust you.
