Yes, prior to Release 14, but I'm also asking whether procs were part
of the original design or added later.

It's performed by the Converter.

The Converter generates internal text after substituting variables. In
the process it generates messages with the substituted text. It does
not generate card images.

Not the Reader/Interpreter[1]. Some other components, however, were a
dog's breakfast. Take allocation - please!

[1] Original name of the Converter/Interpreter plus some code
    that is not relevant to MVS.
