Try to DSPLOG with output *print for the time period between the two ipls.
Then scan the spoolfile for ' 80' ( blank followed by 80 ) which is the end
severity shown on a CPF1164 msg when ENDJOBABN is being used. If nothing
found try the same with severity 90. If nothing found - then I'm lost :)

Well, not much of anything in the History; at least not that I can see.
There is a message right after the IPL (on Friday) started and after
the file systems are mounted: Previous ending abnormal, reason code 1.
(1 - The system ended a job abnormally.) But I already knew that.

There is one suspect message: Vary Configuration error occurred during
IPL. The detailed explanation says to display the QSYSARB job log.
But that only shows me that some devices (not attached to controllers)
could not be varied on.

I displayed the value of QABNORNSW immediately after the IPL (PWRDWNSYS
with *IMMED and Restart(*Yes)) finished on Friday, and it was '1' at
that time. I displayed it again this morning (hoping against hope that
the system just needed some time to assess the situation); it is still
'1'.

I checked the archives before posting today. Lots of information about
what can cause the value to be '1' (usually ENDJOBABN). The only
"recovery" that I found was to re-IPL the system, as I did. I guess I
could re-IPL again tonight, but if Friday's IPL had no effect, I have
to reason to think that tonight's would. Is a re-IPL the only was to
reset QABNORNSW to '0'?

Thanks.

So, anyway, how and when is the QABNORMSW system value reset?

QABNORMSW will be set or reset at system power down depending on if
command ENDJOBABN been used prior to power down.

Look in the history log around system restart and you should have
additional messages indicating the reason for the abnormal system end.
