RE: MIDRANGE-L Digest V3 #623

I seem to remember reading a discussion about this once.  I remember one
person made a break handling program on the QSYSOPR message (CHGMSGQ) and it
would monitor for a specific message.  Then it would do the ENDSBS *ALL
*IMMED.  This way it was the console, and if it wasn't it would need to be
MONMSG'd.  I never persued this myself, but seemed like an interesting
option.

I don't know about you, but this is the kind of thing that is always a bear
to test.  If I wanted to test something like that, I'd have to come in on
Sunday when we were about to go into restricted state anyway.  If I was
lucky, I'd get 2 or 3 attempts before the Operators insisted they needed to
continue.
