Before that command was available, I used this process to prevent Operations
from IPLing from volumes I didn't want them to;
//ASM EXEC HLASMC,PARM='NOGOFF'
//SYSIN DD *
NOIPL START 0
BALR 12,0
USING *,12
LPSW WAITDBF
DS 0D
WAITDBF DC XL8'000A0000DEADBEEF'
END NOIPL
/*
//NOIPL EXEC PGM=ICKDSF,REGION=4M
//DISK1 DD UNIT=SYSALLDA,VOL=SER=XXXXXX,DISP=OLD
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
REFORMAT DDNAME(DISK1) NOVERIFY IPLDD(IPL)
//IPL DD DSN=&&OBJ,DISP=(OLD,DELETE)

If you are not sure anymore what IPL text was written in the past to which
volumes, there is:
REFORMAT REMOVEIPLTXT to clear this.
This way you are sure you will not accidently IPL something old and disastrous.

Subject: Re: Report volumes with IPLText
IIRC, every volume initialized by ICKDSF--is there any other way?--will
contain code in the IPLTEXT area that loads a wait state 00F, which says
that no IPL text exists, unless that area has been rewritten with true
IPL text. So you might write a program that looks for the 00F wait state
code and infer that otherwise it has actual IPL text. You work for the
guvment, right?

ICKDSF claims it knows how to tell if IPL text exists. Ref:

I used to know more about where IPL text was. Likely it would take an
authorized program using EXCP to poke at it. Regardless, I've never
heard of any utility that did. So, if you think there's a market, go
ahead and write it!
