Abnormal system end

Hi all,
Would anyone have any explanation for the following ?
On friday evening I signed on to the console and brought our sytem down to
restricted condition to run our full backup procedure as normal. While
looking throught the history log today I found the following messages :

1. Unattended IPL in progress after abnormal system end
2. Previous ending was abnormal because ENDJOBABN used.

After further investigation I noticed the system had taken an extra 2h
20mins to IPL on Saturday morning after the backup procedure, due to the
abnormal end I assume.

I know I did not issue the ENDJOBABN command during any of the procedure (I
have checked the logs, splf's, etc. to confirm). Possibly it had been issued
earlier in the week on a runaway user job, if so does using the ENDJOBABN
command allways result in the above ?
Does the ENDJOBABN command have any affect on the QABNORMSW system value ?

thanks

Neil
