If you're at all unsure, by far the easiest procedure is simply to (re)write the appropriate IPL text on the volume in question. Even if evidence of IPL text is found by means suggested by others, how do you know it's the right flavor? IPL text gets modified periodically by PTF, especially SAD text. When you rewrite new text, ICKDSF will warn you that text already exists. Just write over it. Spend a little extra Valentine fun with your S.O.

What specifically are you trying to find out? You might have several volumes with IPLTEXT on them. Which one are you looking for - SADUMP or IPL? For a current live environment or one not used any more? What process do you have in place to implement your IPLText? What version of z/OS (the dataset names have changed slightly over time)? I would use an Internet Search engine for IBM IPLTEXT and VOLUME. It should provide several entries to help you.
