In V4R1, IBM added a delay parameter to the GO SAVE option 21 screen, so I 
think that would have worked.

If you are into CL masochism, you can retrieve the CL source for QMNSAVE, 
which is what option 21 uses.  Warning, this is not for the CL 101 programmer.

Regardless of whatever you do, it must be done from the console, and a 
restricted state is required for SAVSYS and SAVLIB(*NONSYS).  I once met a 
guy who developed a technique to restart the controlling subsystem (and NO, 
I will not publish it), and it turned out that his SAVSYS media was not good!
