RE: Question on varying off things.

Yes Mike you can create one or two CL's one to do what you are asking:
Here is an example using two CL's:
VARYFIRST:  PGM       
            VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(LINE01) CFGTYPE(*LIN) STATUS(*OFF)
            VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(LINE02) CFGTYPE(*LIN) STATUS(*ON )

            VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(CTLNAM) CFGTYPE(*CTL) STATUS(*ON)
                RCLRSC
                ENDPGM

VARYBACK:  PGM       
            VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(LINE01) CFGTYPE(*LIN) STATUS(*ON )
            VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(LINE02) CFGTYPE(*LIN) STATUS(*OFF)

            VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(CTLNAM) CFGTYPE(*CTL) STATUS(*OFF)
                RCLRSC
                ENDPGM


You could also create one CL passing in a parm telling the CL which one you
are going to do:

VARYOFFON:  PGM        PARM(&WHICH)

            DCL        VAR(&WHICH) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN( 5)  /* WHICH ONE TO DO
*/

/* VARY OFF AND ON FOR THE FIRST TIME
*/
            IF         COND(&WHICH *EQ 'FIRST') THEN(DO)
            VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(LINE01) CFGTYPE(*LIN) STATUS(*OFF)
            VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(LINE02) CFGTYPE(*LIN) STATUS(*ON )

            VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(CTLNAM) CFGTYPE(*CTL) STATUS(*ON)
            GOTO       CMDLBL(EOJ)
            ENDDO

/* VARY OFF AND ON GOING BACK
*/
            IF         COND(&WHICH *EQ 'BACK ') THEN(DO)
            VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(LINE01) CFGTYPE(*LIN) STATUS(*OFF)
            VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(LINE02) CFGTYPE(*LIN) STATUS(*ON )

            VRYCFG     CFGOBJ(CTLNAM) CFGTYPE(*CTL) STATUS(*ON)
            GOTO       CMDLBL(EOJ)
            ENDDO

EOJ:        RCLRSC
            ENDPGM
        
Then just do a CALL VARYOFFON PARM('FIRST') to do it the first time.
Then just do a CALL VARYOFFON PARM('BACK ') to set it back.

Once in a while we have to disable one *LIN device and enable a different
one. Currently I do:

WRKCFGSTS *LIN 
then disable and enable the items I need.
then 
WRKCFGSTS *CTL 
to enable one more thing.

Then I have to do the opposite when I am done. Is there I way I can do this
in a CL? What command would I use?
