IPCSPARM is optional and best omitted if you're looking at dumps from the system on which you're running or another system at the same release and service level. If IPCSPARM is not allocated when you start your IPCS session, IPCS allocates an arbitrary ddname to the system parmlib concatenation, reads the needed parmlib members, and frees the ddname before commencing the main part of the session. The parmlib concatenation allows your installation to keep its parmlib members, possibly including BLSCUSER, separate from those that are replaced when you go from one system level to another, and two DYNALLOCs these days don't hurt responsiveness like they might have a few years ago.
