I'm still not sure I understand. If you explicitly say 'CMSNAME = "CMS"',
LISTSERV will happily 'IPL CMS PARM AUTOCR' and it ought to work fine,
assuming of course that the IPL'er can pass on PARM's, which it ought to.
If you don't say anything and have LISTSERV fire up the IPL'er from its
directory, it will IPL CMS the first time, causing all LINK's and
DEFINE's to be done, and then the IPL'er will IPL YCMS50. LISTSERV will
then 'IPL YCMS50 PARM AUTOCR' when rebooting, which also ought to work.
The only problem comes when you alter the IPL'er (say, to point the LINK
to another place); LISTSERV won't pick the new one when rebooting because
it IPL's YCMS50.
