When I was working for Huge Insurance company in NY (I think early 1970's) I duplicated that for OP/PCP. I trapped and saved it at the end of NIP, got the date-time from CP and stuffed them into the CVT and started whatever job had in its virtual reader. I don't think this was CP-67. More likely VM/370 r1. You just typed "Ipl OS" and within a second or two you saw the "Job xxxx Started..." message. I don't recall if it was done independantly by me or shared with the above mentioned university.
