Using the tag data with COMMAND would certainly work also.
You're right, I forgot about that little trick. You can do that as long as you run SYSPROF. With XAUTOLOG you have the option of supplying parameters to the guest w/o mucking with IPL. XAUTOLOG CMSGUEST#my parameters (You type that with #CP prefix or as XAUTOLOG CMSGUEST"#my parameters) "my parameters" are presented to the guest as though they had been entered at the console.
