Re: Automating M36 SSP shutdown from OS/400

Lane:

When I execute the STRM36 command command every morning at 7:00am  it
executes the #STRPUP2 procedure and within that procedure  I call NIGHTTIME
until 4:33pm Mon - Fri.

NIGHTTIME loops until 4:33 then executes my Shutdown on the M36

Example Code #STRTUP2
ENABLE ILANSBS,#CNFIGLIB,15   - Communicate OS400 & M36
// NIGHTTIME
// OFF

Example code NIGHTTIME
// IF JOBQ-YES   GOTO LOOP
// JOBQ 1,,NIGHTTIME
// RETURN
// TAG $LOOP
// WAITTIME-163300
DISABLE ILANSBS          -- Stop Communication Between OS400 & M36
// WAIT INTERVAL-000005  - Wait 5 Seconds
// POWER OFF

If you have any questions you may email me at taf@net1plus.com .

Good Luck Lane!
John Fields
