RE: Next IPL Abnormal

Is anyone using the ENDJOBABN command? That will trip the next IPL to be
abnormal. You might want to audit that command and see if anyone is using
it.

I am going to guess, look through your history logs and see how many IPL's
took place. I believe until you get a normal IPL this flag value will be
tripped abnormal.

I have a program that checks the QABNORMSW system value ("Next IPL will be

when I applied the latest cume (5.4), it has been Normal. Last night it
reported back as Abnormal.

The only "incident" between Wednesday night and last night was a power
failure. I wasn't here, but my boss used PWRDWNSYS *Immed. We actually
have two [2] 520's that are mirror images (although no twinax devices are
plugged into the second/backup system). The second system was, also,
powered down at the same time, but its next IPL will be Normal. Turns out
that the local utility decided to give us some juice before he left do he
powered them back up using the little white button. Everything looked

fine

when I came in yesterday morning about 0530; all overnight jobs had run
successfully and the order entry lines were up and functioning.

I'm printing the History for the period using *PRTSECLVL, but I don't know
what I should be looking for. Any clues/suggestions would be appreciated,
