Maybe I'm too tired this evening. I can't see how testing for the
existence of a symbol at assembly time tells you anything about
the runtime system level.

What is IPACEE and why do you need its offset?

Could you change the AIF to check for D'IPACEE (assuming you've
previously expanded the IPAPDESC dsect map)?
