Yes, but don't be fooled by the IEASYS list specifying only 1 suffix if it
isn't 00.   The last time I checked, IEASYS00 was still required to be 
somewhere in the concatenation  - even if you prompt with
IEA101A SPECIFY SYSTEM PARAMETERS FOR ...

Otherwise you get messages:

IEA301I IEASYS00 NOT FOUND IN PARMLIB                 
IEA324I SYSP INPUT TERMINATED IN IEASYS00             
IEA336A RESPECIFY PARAMETERS OR PRESS ENTER TO CANCEL 

The doc isn't completely clear on this unless you read all of it.  For 
example I still see this in the init & tuning reference:

"You can do one of the following to specify a parameter list other than
IEASYS00 for an IPL:"  

That would be more correct if it said "in addition to IEASYS00".  

So don't delete IEASYS00 even if you don't see it in a "D IPLINFO".
