To actually answer your question: Yes. Press either F12 OR F3 and the STRSBS doesn't happen so you stay restricted.

IBM i 7.1, up to date on PTFs.

Saturday I will be doing a SAVE 21 prior to a cache battery replace. The
SAVE 21 will be attended because I'm using a library device.

When finished with the SAVE 21, I would like the system to stay in
restricted state. The tech is going to fail the cache battery at that
point and we'll issue a PWRDWNSYS. It seems like a waste to start the
controlling subsystem only to immediately shut it down again.

I found this http://www.itjungle.com/fhg/fhg051612-story03.html but it's
from 4 years ago and seems overkill for a one-off.

Question: Because it's attended, when the command comes up at the end to
start the controlling subsystem, what happens if I hit F12? Or F3? Will
that work and leave it restricted?

Thanks.
