we recently had some incidents which caused us a lot of

Some JES2 parmlib definitions did not correspond with the

This doesn't exactly address your issue, but is it
time (and is it feasible) to open a requirement to
IBM? The requirement would be for a JES2 command which
would create a valid parmlib that matched the current
settings.
Business reasons:
1. As stated, it's easy for the existing parmlib to get
out of sync with actual, used settings. It would be good
to know that for a cold start the settings would match what
had been in use before. Cold start could be for some
planned reason, at one's normal site or at a DR
site. (Time is precious at a DR test; you don't want to
waste it in problem determination only to find that the
root cause was reverted parmlib changes.)
2. A shop could use two of these taken at different times
to compare and verify that all and only the authorized
changes had been made. Since the output parms would be
expected to be in some fixed, defined order, the compare
would be easy.
