Unfortunately, that would be a problem in many shops and a valid concern
to not give you access to local parmlibs.
However, if you can convince someone to give you access to the
IBM supplied parmlib "IBM.PARMLIB" or "SYS1.IBM.PARMLIB", then
you can allocate it to IPCSPARM and it will only look at that library.
ALLOC FI(IPCSPARM) DA('SYS1.IBM.PARMLIB') SHR REUSE
IPCS
Unfortunately you need the IBM parmlib for not onlt the IPCSPR00 member
(which would be easy to create yourself in your own PDS) but also
the BLSCECT member and a bunch of other members included from
statements in BLSCECT.
So, I guess it isn't really as easy as we had indicated unless you have read
access to the parmlib concatenation.
