Re: QIPLDATTIM and power off/on schedule

If you feel a need to IPL, which may be because:
- you want to do a restricted state backup and you might as well IPL as do 
all the other tasks necessary to bring it back up
- Got some ptf's you want to apply
- your lark here

Then I agree, perhaps a custom program is in order for you.  However if 
you have no development staff, IBM has added a few options for you with 
the power schedule.

Re: QIPLDATTIM and power off/on schedule






At this point we wonder why would we use it at all.  It seems appropriate 
to
simply write a cl that shuts things down in an orderly way and end with a
pwrdwnsys *cntld ipl(*yes).

Why not?
