PLEASE PLEASE - do not suggest MODIFY or WTOR to request shutdown of your task....there is a very simple MVS command that ALL products should be able to accept (intercept) .. that is STOP (P).
Use MODIFY to change your task environment....not to shutdown your task. Use STOP to request shutdown...... Then if that dont work ... use CANCEL.... Then if that dont work ... use FORCE..... but be propared to IPL the whole system. In this day or age there is simply NO excuse not to support the STOP command. extra: Separation of security access rules for STOP and CANCEL away from MODIFY is highly advised. The functionality of these commands is distinctly different. On Tue, 28 Sep 2010 22:26:29 -0400, Robert A.
