The problem is solved! 

First, I would like to help all the people who helped me on this forum 
and off-list. I appreciate it very much. 
Thank you gentlemen! 

For the record purposes the solution and full story: 
I had to set HIF (High Integrity Fabric) to YES. 
Note1, there is no such option in GUI (webtools), only CLI (configure - 
fabric parameters) 
Note2, it is relatively new option, it is available in FOS 7.4.2a, but 
not yet present in 7.2.1d 
Note3, HIF enables/disables support for FICON, despite all relevant 
parameters (PBR, DLS, IOD, IDID) are OK. 
Note4, HIF setting was automagically set to NO during FOS upgrade. 
Note5. All existing connections survived the (non-disruptive) upgrade 
because those settings are checked only during "handshaking" process and 
the machines were not POR-ed since the FOS upgrade. 

My recommendation: after any FOS change disable and re-enable some 
chpids attached to the switch. 

BTW: I wish I would have some button in webtools or command like 
"ficonsetall".
