This is also why it is a good idea to move the previous SYSTEM CONFIG
from the CF1 parm disk to CF2 parm disk.
Should VM not come up, reipl with the LOADPARM console-addr to get
the SAPL screen. Specify LOADPARM 2 to get previous
system config.
I learned my lesson and since then I do as DJ has suggested.

The name of the config syntax checker is: CPSYNTAX EXEC and on my 5.1
system, it's found on MAINT's 193 mdisk. Using it after every change is
a very good idea, imho....;-)
