The old xmem POST has LINKAGE=SVC and LINKAGE=SYSTEM (which is a PC interface) which allows you to invoke in problem state if you are APF authorized. LINKAGE=BRANCH for POST requires supervisor state.
IEAMSXMP provides only a branch entry interface. So if you are APF authorized and in problem state, you must do a MODESET to supervisor state before invoking IEAMSXMP.
