David,

You could create a data area, write a value indicating if the start up
program must run or not and, inside your startup pgm, read the data
area and act accordingly. It could be something like "read data area",
"if value = 0 goto eoj", etc.

HTH,

HI All,

On a monthly basis we run a full system (option 21) save and IPL our

system. To do this, we have an operator who manually brings the system
into a restricted state, goes to the save menu and executes option 21. As
part of the option 21, when the save completes, it starts the controlling
subsystem which then executes the qstruppgm. As I mentioned earlier, we
IPL the system after the save finishes but our operator is having to wait
for the system to start, then end back to a restricted state before he can
IPL the system. It's been awhile since I have been through the option 21
save options, and I've done some reading online, but there doesn't appear
to be an option to bypass the startup. Can anyone suggest a way around
this?

Also, we are preparing for our DR test this December and want to execute

3 consecutive option 21 saves (2 to send to out DR partner, 1 to keep).
As you can image, if the system starts after each one it would add a lot
of time to this procedure. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

David Charmatz
