So how can something so fundamental to interesting tools (like BCPii and CIM)
be so appallingly (un)documented. It's hardly even mentioned except as a
pre-req to the above.
Fairly typical actually ... at escape BCPii was basically undocumented (and
effectively unusable by the unwashed masses),

It is common for a nice function to be used, but still be undocumented until at
a later release.
Often they apply updates to previous versions of z/OS, notify of
changes in APARS, the manuals are not updated until the next release.
So go ahead and use a manual 1 or 2 versions ahead but watch out for
APARs and improvements only tolerated and not back-fitted to your
version.
