Display command or healthcheck for RACF use of IRRPRMxx

We are currently converting RACF from ICHRDSNT modules to using parmlib member IRRPRMxx. While this works as designed there is no way to verify after the fact (if the historical IPL syslog/operlog is not available) if RACF is using the ICHRDSNT or...
