Re: running commands in restricted state -- will this work?

[Steve Richter <stephenrichter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

you can write a CL program that will run the following steps:
  - endsbs *all *immed bchtimlmt(*nomax)
  - RCLRSC *DBXREF
  - call &qstruppgm

the key being the BCHTIMLMT parameter on the ENDSBS command. It puts
the system in a restricted state with only the job that is running the
ENDSBS command being the only job still running on the system.
