>In what z/OS release(s) will those statements be corrected? Books from old releases, whether supported releases or unsupported releases, are typically not updated. It is possible the update will show up in the 2.2 release; I would think that it is unlikely to be made in any release earlier than that.
The only difference between this support and placing commands in COMMNDxx is that the deferred LPA approach gives an application a way to wait for the completion (and, by the way, no one ever brought up the lack of such an approach as a problem; it just seemed like a potential problem to me). Having such "waiting" happen automatically is something that we would not impose on a customer, as it could delay the completion of IPL (many applications would not need to wait). Whether that is a noticeable delay or not depends on how much is to be done. But having it be an option is fair game. Feel free to submit a req for such an option.
