I'm pretty sure that you need LPALSTxx to IPL. Also, be careful to properly size [E]CSA when you expand your dynamic LPA load.

Using LNKLST00 is the “old or non dynamic” method and doesn’t allow PDE. Coding LNKLST as part of the PROGxx concatenation is using dynamic link list and does allow pdse. While I haven’t tried it, I suspect the same would be true if retiring LPALST00 in favor of putting those statements in the PROG concatenation as well. _______________________________ Dave Jousma Vice President | Director, Platform Engineering Fifth Third Bank | 1830 East Paris Ave, SE | Grand Rapids, MI 49546 ________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> on behalf of Jerry Whitteridge <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 2, 2026 12:29:03 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: EXTERNAL Email: Re: [EXTERNAL] Do you still have to add PDS/e separately at IPL in lnklst Lizette - Rex and Dave post finally triggered why we add the PDS/E to the Linklist after IPL. From my memories it relates to the PDS/E's in the Linklist at IPL time can't be dynamically removed from the linklist. We did maintenance by removing libraries and then readding them .

CEE.SCEERUN2 and TCPIP.SEZALOAD are 2 libraries close to the beginning of my PROG00 member, used at IPL. My uneducated guess is that NIP opens SYS1.LINKLIB outside of finding it in PROG00 because this library is needed to start the SMSPDSE address space. It then builds the full PROGxx concatenation for linklist processing after SMSPDSE is running.

That PDSE data sets should be added later with a separate SETPROG command. Is that still a true process? I was told that in order to do rebuilds dynamically on the Link List containing PDSE's, it needs to be done shortly after nip processing. If that is no longer true when did the restriction get lifted? So PROG00 for nip only has pds datasets. A Minute or two after nip I issue a command to rebuild lnklst and include PDS/e datasets in lnklst.
