Frank, I looked but it appears you cannot set this command dynamically. Add it to your Features for the next VM IPL.
One thing that may of caused your VSE to be forced is your setting of RUN. If it is on, it should keep your VSE from being forced. CP Q SET then if needed CP SET RUN ON Add it to your PROFILE EXEC: &STACK CP DISC &STACK CP SET RUN ON &STACK CP SET SMSG ON &STACK CP IPL CUU CLEAR LOADPARM .....
