The first version of MVS that supported LPARs was MVS/SP V2R1. Thus, OS/VS2 ver 3.8J would not know about LPARs.

I would tend to agree.

I personally questioned the behavior (by Mark Gaubtaz (dasdman) back in Sept. 2013) which is what lead to my eventual introduction of the "Limited automatic LPARNUM updating when setting certain architecture modes" change in Hyperion 4.1 (https://sdl-hercules-390.github.io/html/hercrnot.html#4.1), but he insisted such handling was correct, and I felt he was in a better position to know than me (having worked at Amdahl for many years and having access to documents unavailable to the general public).
