  IARZINIT was the RSMDATA subcommand and the RSM Analyze exits for dumps
of systems running ARCHLVL 1 (ESA/390 architecture).  Since z/OS 1.6 does 
not support ARCHLVL 1, this code was deleted in z/OS 1.6.  The fact that
your IPCS is looking for it is likely due to the IPCSPARM issue explained
above by Brian Peterson.
