Not quite the result I was hoping for ...

Sheesh! I've never understood what some sysprog's think is so "secret"
about the contents of parmlib. IMHO, UACC(NONE) for parmlib is more
draconian paranoia than anything else. But, that's a discussion for
another thread...
I recreated your issue by giving one of my userids ACCESS(NONE) to
SYS1.PARMLIB (which is UACC(READ) BTW). I get the following:
IEC150I
913-38,IFG0194E,JOEUSER,$IKJE440,SYS00116-0003,2000,Z9RES1,SYS1.PARMLIB
The "SYS00116-0003" means a concatenation is being being opened and the
failure in the 3rd data set in the concatenation. I looked at my LOADxx
member in IPLPARM and I see:
PARMLIB one.data.set
PARMLIB another.data.set ******
PARMLIB SYS1.PARMLIB ******
SYS1.PARMLIB is the 3rd data set specified via PARMLIB statements.
Coincidence? I doubt it. (The IEFPRMLB service requires READ access to
all parmlibs in the concatenation.)
Here's the best part. Ready for this? Are you sitting down?? You want to
know what the big "super secret" contents of IPCSPR00 are???

In the absence of being able to READ parmlib in the "People's Republic
of UHC", I would say the best alternative is to follow the "alternate
parmlib" procedure (see link below) -- what Mark (one of the "good"
sysprogs) has already alluded to -- and see how far you get ...

But the point is, it's still an awful lot of work to
find the workaround to get to the function that the
applications person might not even know is available.
Most folks will give up way before that and just start
putting DISPLAYs / WTOs in their code.
IPCS might be the greatest thing for debugging ever,
but it is _effectively_ not available to the great
numbers of application programmers, for whatever
reasons.
