Protect HSM expiration functions in IPL date error situation

We had a recent experience where one of our systems was IPL'ed to a future date. Unfortunately, RMM and HSM recycle processing ran during this time resulting in data being deleted prior to the true expiration date. We are able to change the RMM IPLDATE parameter that will allow us some protection from this happening again to RMM. However, that same protection is not available in HSM. We would like HSM to implement something very similar to RMM's IPLDATE parameter. This would allow some level of protection against HSM expiring a large number of datasets should this happen in the future. We are considering implementing some minimal protection by making HSM's start dependent on RMM. But, that control has the potential to slow down initialization of HSM in all normal IPL situations.
