I _strongly_ suggest that you move SYS1.PARMLIB off the IPL volume. > The HLQ for IODF is in a User catalog shared by both systems.

You might want to look at "--" or "++" depending on the way you create new IODFs. That way, if the one that matches the HSA can't be found, you can fall back to the previous one. >In Production LOADxx, >these values are hard-coded.

IODF name must be hlq.IODFxx. A work IODF can be named in other ways.
