Also used as the term when setting the IPL records on a new system pack as I recall. I did this a couple years back for a specific test. Took a bit to get the details of doing it since I hadn't done it since 1970 or so.

I got into this biz in the late 70s. The term CLIP was common parlance for 'label reformat'. I still have several canned JCL members with 'CLIP' in the member name.
