All iASPs have names - they are devices.

RSTASP is a number - those 1st 32, as I recall - someone will have the right number if I'm off.
IASPs are the place named in RSTASPDEV - the name is also at the first 
level off of the root of IFS. So if it IASP01 as the device name, you 
will see /IASP01 in WRKLNK '/'
There will be a QSYS.LIB inside that directory, too - and in there is 
where the library will get restored to - AND it cannot exist there and 
in *SYSBAS at the same time - meaning when the IASP device is varied on.
There're manuals about IASPs that you probably need to get really 
familiar with - you don't NEED a system with an IASP,  but it's not that 
hard to set up, either - just take 1 arm out of whatever your DASD is, 
then use that as the disk for an IASP.
Good luck!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Midrange Geeks:

I just had to deal with a customer who was having a problem with software installed on an iASP (contrary to the expectations of the installer program). Researching the "snakebyte" problem brought me to the RSTASPDEV and RSTASP parameters on RSTxxx
I remember RSTASP from previous work with "basic user ASPs," but I'm 
not quite sure I understand what RSPASPDEV expects (and don't have a 
box with iASPs to experiment with). Am I to understand that ASPs can 
have names now?
