Usage of QABNORMSW systemvalue

[Spirinckx Chris <Chris.Spirinckx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fellow Midrangers,

In the IPL-procedure I need to know whether the previous powerdown was
normal or not.
Normal meaning that a PWRDWNSYS-command was issued ( Restart option can be
*yes/*no )
Abnormal would be a power loss, disk crash or some other goodies that can
happen.

I was thinking of using the QABNORMSW System value.
However the helptext refers to the ENDJOBABN-command.
Does anyone of you have any experience with this systemvalue and/or the
ENDJOBABN-command ?

An other approach would be changing the contents of a dataara during IPL
and in the PWRDWNSYS-command.
Is it possible to create an exit point for the powerdown command, and will
this be preserved when upgrading ?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

BTW were on a 620 running V4R1

TIA

Chris
