John -- Another option that IBM could have pointed out .... Your situation is very common, and IBM did modify SCRT to help sites with this issue. SCRT's PARMS DD statement provides a technique to hard code this information one time, so you don't need to do it month after month. In the PARMS DD input enter:
LPAR_Comment CPC=tttt-sssss,LPAR=nnnnnnnn,Comment="ccc...ccc", "ccc...ccc", ..." ccc...ccc" and the SCRT User Guide provides this example: LPAR_Comment CPC=2096-12345,LPAR=LPARVM1, Comment="This LPAR is only used for Linux" which you can easily change for your old ICF LPAR.
