Creating an Alternate Parmlib

To create an alternate parmlib containing one or more IPCSPRxx members, do the following:

Make sure that you are not in an IPCS session.
Edit a copy of IPCSPRxx into an alternate parmlib called DEPTXYZ.PARMLIB, for example. Call the copy IPCSPR05, for example.
Specify the parameters in the IPCSPR05 member of DEPTXYZ.PARMLIB.
Enter the following TSO/E command:
```
allocate file(ipcsparm) dsn('deptxyz.parmlib' 'sys1.parmlib') shr
```
The result of this allocate command is that IPCS will use IPCSPR05 in DEPTXYZ.PARMLIB for the session parameters.
Begin an IPCS session by entering the following command so that IPCS will syntax-check IPCSPR05:
```
IPCS PARM(05)
```

All users needing special session parameters can store customized IPCSPRxx members in DEPTXYZ.PARMLIB. Users do not need update authority to SYS1.PARMLIB to tell IPCS which problem and data set directories have been established for users.
