Re: linklist error at IPL

I know there are lots of critical errors that can happen during NIP so I don't know exactly where to draw the line, but it would be great if the OS could flag things like this (missing LNKLST library, missing LPA library or MLPA, missing SVCs) and then reflect the error in a health check post

Or you just could do an STFLE and check the facility bits... Or your could use the facility bit area that z/OS set up for you. That's easier. That is mapped by IHAFACL and the area is pointed to by ECVTFACL (this has existed since z/OS 2.1). A subset of those bits are also mapped within the
