That has been part of the normal shutdown since at least early Z, and
quite
possibly in OS390 (do not have enough neurons to save all this info)
In spite of it being somewhat scary looking, FORCE ARM is really just a
type of CANCEL.
There are several system address spaces that must be canceled to shut
them down. AXR and TN3270 are the only two I can think of that use FORCE
ARM.
TN3270 on my system (z/OS 1.11) accepts a STOP command.
I would prefer not to have to use CANCEL or FORCE ARM, but
I can deal with it.
