You are right indeed, it does now. But, I'm pretty sure it did not in the past when we started our mixed environment (our archived ALLOCATE EXIT dates from March 2001). My memory is usualy good at such things, and my collegues here confirm my opinion. So, things must have changed since then.
Thanks for the updated information (maybe we'll need it again when we start using a VTS in a couple of months).
