ICKDSF does not create IPL text. It only puts it on the volume.
example JCL:
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=ICKDSF,
// REGION=2M
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//IPLDD DD DSN=SYS1.SAMPLIB(IEAIPL00),
// DISP=SHR,UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=TS2RS1
//SYSIN DD *
REFORMAT DDNAME(I14RS1) -
VERIFY(I14RS1) -
IPLDD(IPLDD,OBJFORMAT) NOBOOTSTRAP
/*
//I14RS1 DD DISP=OLD,
// UNIT=3390,
// VOL=SER=I14RS1
I've used this JCL for so many years, without change, that I doubt it
will ever change again <grin>.
