IZUPRMxx AUTOSTART function description is incomplete

The V2R3 z/OSMF Documentation describing the IZUPRMxx member in SYS1.PARMLIB ought to follow the same layout conventions found in the MVS Initialization Reference publication.

It is also unclear from the documentation what the default behavior is if the customer codes a IZUPRM00 member. Will the system automatically process the IZUPRM00 member if the IZU= statement is NOT coded in IEASYSxx. It looks like if the IZU= statement is not present, no IZUPRMxx member is processed, and an attempt will be made start z/OSMF using system defaults. This could be made a little clearer.

It is also unclear as to what started procs the system will be using to start the z/OSMF system. My assumption is IZUANG1 and IZUSVR1, but this needs to be clearly stated, to help in determining if the site should use the AUTOSTART feature. Some sites may use a different started proc name convention.

    If we're supposed to take z/OSMF seriously, we need IBM to take it serious too.
    Documentation of this is crusial.

    This item is a valid requirement but unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. If this requirement is high value, please re-open it, or open a new requirement.
