  To zap the WSAT such that all restartable wait states drive 
AutoIPL with SADMP and ReIPL:

//D10JHM1P JOB 'D1003P,D10,?',MULDER,CLASS=J,MSGCLASS=H, 
//         MSGLEVEL=(1,1),NOTIFY=D10JHM1 
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=AMASPZAP,PARM='IGNIDRFULL' 
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* 
//SYSLIB   DD DSN=SYS1.NUCLEUS,DISP=SHR 
//SYSIN DD  * 
 NAME  IEANUC01 BLWWSATC 
 VER 0030 00000FFF 
 REP 0030 30000FFF 
/* 
// 

To add an entry to the WSAT which causes the QUIESCE CCC wait code 
to drive AutoIPL with SADMP and ReIPL:
 
//D10JHM1P JOB 'D1003P,D10,?',MULDER,CLASS=J,MSGCLASS=H, 
//         MSGLEVEL=(1,1),NOTIFY=D10JHM1 
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=AMASPZAP,PARM='IGNIDRFULL' 
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* 
//SYSLIB   DD DSN=SYS1.NUCLEUS,DISP=SHR 
//SYSIN DD  * 
 NAME  IEANUC01 BLWWSATC 
 VER 0020 00000013 
 REP 0020 00000014 
 VER 0078 00000000 
 REP 0078 30000CCC 
/* 
// 

  Then reIPL to activate the changed WSAT.
