Even here, a $PJES2,ABEND - "END" would be preferable. Then you could do he "Z EOD".

So, I'm wondering if anyone else out there has heard this >same story and either has the evidence to back up the claim or to reject >it. You're absolutely correct. Having JES2 shut itself down cleanly is the right thing to do. Besides, what happened to "z eod" before varying something out of the plex? The only time I would recommend the v xcf,offline approach *without* JES2 down is the following: For some reason, JES2 did not reach the 'all available functions complete' message. In our case, that was usually when someone had introduced a new address space that wasn't in automation and hence not properly shut down (and then had the legs in OMVS pulled out from under it by my automation script) or when an address space had definite problems itself during shutdown thus preventing JES2 shutdown. Only in those cases would I issue the v xcf,offline command. In that case, XCF tells all connectors that the system is about to disappear, and then JES2 terminates no matter what. I understand that the JES2MON asid can help with shutdown, but I never got around to investigating the commands available to do that... Regards, Barbara Nitz -- Psssst!
