I ran a test on my 1.11 system using IEFBR14, COBOL, and both SMS and non-SMS datasets, no problems.

The situation I am asking about about , was a z/os 1.11 shop.. IEFBR14 used to allocate Non-SMS DATASET, COBOL goes to read it and Abend s001-4. If I mislead anyone, sorry..just trying to get an explanation to this wierd situation. Looks like its a change as Mark pointed out in Z/OS 1.11 .
