I'm sure a RESET/LOAD would have been a better alternative, but it's hard to choose the right thing under the gun of a dead machine!
Thanks. Suleiman Shahin Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:15:22 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Shutdown wont complete.. What next.. To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU A RESET/LOAD will reset the machine without the necessity of a deact/act. Another, perhaps better alternative, is the PSW RESET which will take a dump and then re-IPL the machine.
