IPLTYPE, set via IPLTYPE script statement, is not propagated to the KG-Sys

When setting the IPLTYPE/-MODE on the KG-Sys this is also promoted to the (LCP) R-Sys. 

The other way around this is not the case. So setting the IPLTYPE on the R-Sys is NOT propagated to the KG-Sys. In normal situations this is not a real issue.

But when we want to set the IPLTYPE via the IPLTYPE script statement this is only possible on the R-Sys. And as this is not propagated to the KG-Sys it means that, for example, a stop/start of the NetView running the KG-function will reset the IPLTYPE on the R-Sys.

We would like to be able to use the IPLTYPE script statement and the selected value set on both the KG-Sys as the R-Sys.

    We are also looking at implementing LCP. This seems like a good idea (medium priority).

    We like the idea of any updates on Kr getting propagated to Kg. We noticed that sometimes KG gets updated, but if you do your checks on Kr they may not match when you go to IPL. If these PARMs mirror, they should always be the same.
