Who R U? In CICS you're supposed to use CICS services for I/O, not to do
your own in the main CICS task. One of those services is to run code in a
separate subtask so that you are allowed to do things directly that would
otherwise be prohibited.

Suppose what you want, but CICS was handling this before there was a
STARTIO. Why not instead suppose that the authors of CICS have heard of
ATTACH et al? What has changed is that there is now a mechanism for
programmers who want to do a wait to do it in a subtask.
