You are making the issue more complicated than it should be. Go ahead an move the LOADxx parm member into SYSx.IPLPARM. For testing purposes you could change the XX to some other suffix and use that for the system IPL. If you have a problem, you can change the LOAD parm back to the original LOA

Why not just use something like LOADPx for the production LOADxx and LOADSx for the sandbox ? Then you can copy your current LOADxx's into those members and coexist. No change necessary to your IODF setup. Otherwise use 2 different IODF HLQ's. You can copy an IODF and maintain the token with no adv
