What John has suggested is that if I want the module loaded when the system IPLs following a crash to be different than the one last loaded, I need to use the SET IPLPARMS command to specify the new module. That was the answer to what I hoped I was asking :-) I am going to stage a new CPLOAD MODULE and schedule a SHUTDOWN REIPL MOD CPLOAD. If I use SET IPLPARMS, I can tell Operations that the scheduled IPL need not be done if there is an intervening crash and soft IPL.

The behavior I've seen here is that both an automatic abend and SHUTDOWN REIPL will IPL the module that's currently named CPLOAD MODULE. I always install maintenance with SHUTDOWN REIPL, and QUERY CPLOAD verifies that I've IPLed the new module. I had one incident where I'd staged a new module, and before I could do SHUTDOWN REIPL, the system abended and auto-restarted with the new module. Of course, the fix for the abend was in the new module.
