Michael Babcock's comment was fully correct and on point. If you have LOADxx in SYS1.IPLPARM on volume VOL123 and that dataset is not in the parmlib concatenation then SETLOAD xx,IEASYM,DSN=SYS1.IPLPARM,VOL=VOL123 applies.
And, as is described, you can use SETLOAD xx,IEASYM,DSN=IPL,VOL=IPL To indicate to take the dataset and volume used from IPL to locate LOADxx. Colin, what commentary update are you thinking of requesting? The doc indicates that the default is to locate LOADxx via the parmlib concatenation (which is true) and shows how to override the default. There's almost always room for improvement in documentation....
