imbedded in our BLSCECT, too, but I cannot find it either. Even the DFP 
Diagnosis books don't talk about it, only about smsdata and smsxdata, which 
*can* be found.

>IMBED MEMBER(ISPIPCSP) ENVIRONMENT(ALL) /* ISPF @L1A*/
>IMBED MEMBER(IKJIPCSP) ENVIRONMENT(ALL) /* TSO/E @L1A*/
Cannot find them either.

>IMBED MEMBER(DXRIPCSP) ENVIRONMENT(ALL) /* IRLM @L1A*/
>IMBED MEMBER(DSNIPCSP) ENVIRONMENT(ALL) /* DB2 @L1A*/
These two I would expect to be somewhere in IRLM/DB2 datasets, with 
instructions buried somewhere to copy them over to parmlib. But in ours I 
cannot find them, either.

So I am left with the suspicion that these members are imbedded just for IBM 
use in IBM locations that have access to *A LOT* more commands. After all, 
unless you happen to use a command defined in one of those members, IPCS 
wouldn't go searching for it and come back with 'not found'. And these commands 
are not described to the rest of the world on the assumption that IBM support 
are the only ones ever using IPCS (<no comment>) so why describe them anywhere 
much less ship them? 

Means that IBM would have to support those commands, and debugging isn't what's 
done these days. We just restart the application, right? And don't report a 
problem to IBM if it is not 100% reproducible, especially not in the 'new 
world' (the clickable one)....IBM won't debug it, either.

With IBMs push to make a problem reproducible, the up-front-request to produce 
a lot of docs that you usually don't have in a production environment or when a 
problem occurs intermittendly, IBMs general negligence of looking at 
non-reproducible problems (some exceptions to that noted), and the 'brand-new' 
technique of putting in test code into the reproducible testcase, who needs 
debugging these days? Much less imbedded IPCS members?
