Well, I cannot tell the original the systems had been IPLed into the sysplex,
right now. But I had expected the number to be something that easily and
obviously identifies a system. After all it is shown in a system message (and
part of a DSN) giving me a hint on where something had happened.
Thinking about an RCF or PMR to get a autoritative answer.
