Peter The function postulated in this thread has certainly not been always supported - always starting from the earliest flavour of TCP/IP for VM - or it escaped my extensive testing of the function in the earliest TCP/IP for MVS and the documentation. That such a handy function would escape description - as it still does - would be most remarkable - to coin a phrase.
It's also remarkable that the TELNET client in the Communications Server IP component should still be written in Pascal - unless some development author just forgot to remove the "excuse" - it's been known - after having undergone such a major enhancement. Incidentally, you are spreading your net rather too widely in dating the original function at 20 years ago. I think 15 would be closer to the advent of TCP/IP for VM. I expect some lurking IBM developer will provide an accurate age.
