Well <expletive deleted>! So basically I'm not in a very good position, and back to square one. It seems to me that to accomplish what I want, and maintain Production integrity, I need to create an uncataloged copy of <MyHLQ>.IODFxx (which is found in HSA) on a new volume. I then create SYSx.IPLPARM on this new IODF volume, utilizing LPARNAME filtering, PARMLIB concatenation, all the 'new' bells and whistles, etc, in LOADxx (or more likely LOADxy). I change my LOAD parms to point to new IODF vol and LOAD member, IPL and off I go!
Does this sound feasible?
