Thank you for asking the question!
It's time for the IBM folks to chime in on this one. 
We are 1.12 going to 2.1 or 2.2.
What is the current default and which zap does what?

Best Regards,
Doug

I was pointed to this and other APARs by a colleague after I posted here. The 
net as I understand now is:
o The new, optional function was introduced with an APAR in z/OS V1.9. The 
default was left to be to old behaviour.
o IBM decided to change the default to the new function (CSI) with z/OS V1.11
o Later, problems were reported with the new function. IBM decided to change 
the default back to the old behaviour via APAR on z/OS V1.11 and V1.12. z/OS 
V2.1 was delivered with the old behaviour being the default.

Very confusing if you read the manual at different z/OS levels. The value X'00' 
for the patch byte sometimes means old behaviour, sometimes new behaviour. Not 
nice.


No matter what the default is, I'd like to hear what anyone having used the new 
function (CSI) can tell.
