I mis-wrote. My LPALSTxx and PROGxx do not utilized the &SYSR1 variable. Only on the APF statements is it used. Sorry for the confusion.
All the datasets except for the VSAM (ZFS) on my the volume I use for SMP/E target and IPL are cataloged with &SYSR1 for the volume name. Even SYS1.NUCLEUS, SYS1.LPALIB, and SYS1.LINKLIB, which must be on the IPL volume anyway. Except for SYS1.PARMLIB and SYS1.PROCLIB, which are cataloged using ****** for the volume name. I've had IPL issues when not using that convention. But usage of that special volume name implies they are on the IPL volume.
