Since the QSTRPRTWTR system value is not changeable is not a valid
parameter for the CHGSYSVAL command, nor changeable via the WRKSYSVAL
list, I daresay you are correct, Rob. The system value merely indicates
what the last status of the print writers was, supposedly, at at last IPL.
I say "supposedly" because I did an IPL to test (boy, was the warehouse
P-Oed). The CHGIPLA value was set to *Yes, but my QSTRUP program
branched around the actual start of the writers. And yet QSTRPRTWTR has
a value of '1' (started). I could not find anything in the info center
that spelled this out, but it would appear that all that QSTRPRTWTR
indicates is the value of the IPL options, not necessarily reality.
Plus as Mark indicated TCP did start automatically without the STRTCP
command in the QSTRUP program. The only glitch, if you will, is that
iNav, when I tried a refresh on the Network...Servers...TCP/IP option,
came back with 'Server data could not be retrieved' but only on the
first attempt; subsequent attempts showed no server started (Status =
None). Closing and restarting iNav showed everything normal (i.e., the
servers I expected to be started had the appropriate status).

So, what runs first:
- The stuff in DSPIPLA
- QSTRUP
I am trying to add some stuff in my startup program and I need to know.
Jerry,
As far as the printer writers goes, this is my impression of the DSPIPLA.
Jerry runs:
CHGIPLA STRPRTWTR(*NO)
PWRDWNSYS OPTION(*IMMED) RESTART(*YES)
Upon IPL the system reads the DSPIPLA and performs a CHGSYSVAL QSTRPRTWTR
somehow because I can't use that parameter on that command.
After the system does that, it then calls the program in QSTRUPPGM. QSTRUP
(default value for QSTRUPPGM) checks that system value to decide whether
or not to start the printer writers.
Default QSTRUP program:
