RE: operators and PWRDWNSYS

Rob,

The CMGCMD ALLOW parm tells where the command could execute.
Therefore, if you had done a CHGCMD PWRDWNSYS ALLOW(*INTERACT) you would not
be able to issue the PWRDWNSYS command except interactively. You could not
execute it in batch, or inside any CL program.

The Parm CONFIRM *INTERACT gives a "pop-up" screen when you run it
interactively so the operator can confirm, but if they run it in batch, it
just executes as it now for you.

I have a question about PWRDWNSYS CONFIRM(*INTERACT).

Does CONFIRM(*INTERACT) match CHGCMD ALLOW(*INTERACT)
or does it match ALLOW(*INTERACT *IPGM)?

I have a program that does a save and a bunch of stuff, then does an IPL.
I would like to change the environment variable associated with CONFIRM to
be *INTERACT but I do not want it to hold up that program (since the IPL
often occurs "lights out").

Worse comes to worse, I do have a 270 I could test this on.
