Actually, there is, as long as the volume has been initialized. (Thanks
to JM for helping track this down.) From the ICKDSF book, under INIT:
"If you do not specify IPLDD, ICKDSF writes special bootstrap records
that cause the processing unit to be placed in a WAIT state if the
volume or minidisk is specified during an attempt to load the system.
Bit 12 of the wait state PSW is set on." I have not verified that this
loads a WAIT00F, however. I suppose one could argue that this is a
special case of IPL text (and I'd be forced to agree) but when we use
that term we usually mean the one we write to IPL an operating system.
So it seems we might have a volume that was not INITted or that has
incorrect IPL text written to it.
In any event, the best next action is unchanged: Write the IPL text and
try the IPL again.

You can't get a wait state code because there is nothing there to load it. All zeros is
what you would expect if the "bootstrap" records never got loaded.

Hello,
I did applied some maintenance to my sandbox system. When i loaded with the
LPAR with the new address.
i got the below message in the HMC,
Central processor (CP) 0 is looping due to switching between program status
words (PSWs) that are not valid. The program status word (PSW) is
0000000000000000.
The IPLTEXT was not written to the newly cloned RES Volume. Could that be a
reason ?
I am not getting a correct explanation about x'000' on my search about the
above PSW in MVS manual codes.
Any suggestions ?

I think (but have not tested that) you should get a 00F wait if you try to IPL
from a volume with no IPL text. However, the IPL text--at the level matching
the system you are trying to IPL--is required to IPL. If you never wrote it to
the IPL volume the IPL will fail.
