Not convinced this a true statment. Back in the late 1970s and early
1980s with MVS, it was wired it into homegrown TSO commands and worked
well. Then with some new release it became authorized. I had Bill
Godfrey (TSSO fame and TSO GURU) under Contract working for the Air
Force in the Pentagon and he heard our moans. Bill headed off into the
load module and determined IBM was doing a GETMAIN for some very small
number of bytes (4 I think) from a Subpool which needed you to be
authorized. No one ever determined why they decided to do it. So the fix
for our TSO commands was to go back into a SVS system and get its
IEBCOPY which did not need authorization and called it XEBCOPY for use
with the TSO commands. We ran that for years and may even still be around.

Wasn't there something about a new I/O appendage about that time?
Something that might have required authorization?
