RE: SavSys21/power failure/pwrdwnsys *immed

You are not sending a message but putting the message queue into break mode, 
thus allocating the message queue.  QSYSOPR is placed in to break mode by the 
Save21 program.  This does work, cause I have done it before.  If the message 
queue is allocated, the system does not start a power down immediately upon 
signal of power failure.  It basically puts a message in to the UPSMSGQ and 
lets your program handle the power failure.  If you have a UPS monitoring 
program that does not allocate the message queue, your system will shut down 
immediately.  In fact I am willing to bet that the system does not know if a 
server job or interactive job has the message queue allocated, just that it is.

My hunch is that you cannot send a message in a restricted state.  I
certainly have experimented with this during my save-while-active testing,
and it failed.
