I dont feel the question was answered properly. The user wanted to
know if running in an IFL could be determined say from REXX. Is
there some flag or system variable that might indicate the lpar is an
IFL or not?
What if a site does not have a ZOS guest to ipl.
I do know if you attempt to bring up ZOS native in a IFL, the lpar will croak.

I don't think that will tell you if it's running on an IFL. I know of a
site where z/OS was accidentally IPL'd in an IFL LPAR (and brought back
down quickly as soon as the error was discovered).
