I've managed to write a group of CL commands to job scheduled entries that do
indeed end my subsystems.  Can your program be run in the controlling subsystem?

I have a program which does what option 21 does, (along with 
some additional logging).  However, it should be ran in a 
restricted state.  And that is the rub.  Running it in a 
restricted state.  This would probably not work from the job 
scheduler.  Because wouldn't doing an ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED kill 
the job?  A work around might be to sign on to the system 
console and execute a program which would do this.  Have the 
program pause on a data queue.  And have the job scheduler fill 
the data queue.

I won't ask you to publish the method of restarting the controlling subsystem
(althoug, now I am curious).  

I am confused.  I am not sure if I am not making myself clear or if maybe I am
just more ignorant on this than I thought?  I only go into the office once a
week (Mondays) so I want the systems to be set up to automatically do complete
saves each Friday night/Saturday morning.  Is it possible to set a delay on the
complete save that is that lengthy (4-5 days away) and reoccurs every week
without having to be set up each week (in case I miss a Monday)?  I have done
delays of a few hrs, but never days and haven't seen a parameter that allows
this to be reoccuring.  Thus the hope of a CL command via a job scheduled entry.

At 02:35 PM 05/03/2000 -0500, you wrote:

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!
