Jerry,

From the helptext for CHGIPLA......
Page down to the section on STRRSTD.
*SAME "This attribute is reset to its initial value after each IPL"
*YES The system is started to the restricted state.
This attribute is then reset to *NO.

Vern,

Thanks. Something else I did not know. After the Cume install finishes
(that explains why I'm working on a Saturday), I'll check it out.

There is a message, I think, that appears in the history log when a
system value is changed. Maybe that also applies to this automatic
change and could give you a very close timeframe.

Yeah, CPF1805.

Maybe then I'll have a better window for an investigation. But Murphy

Jerry,

If you had a job prior to your IPL end abnormally, you'll see the
QABNORMSW turned on. If you then end another job abnormally then it
will
still be on after your next IPL.

Maybe if, instead, you do
CHGIPLA STRPRTWTR(*NO) STRRSTD(*YES)
PWRDWNSYS DELAY(120) RESTART(*YES) IPLSRC(B)
check QABNORMSW and if still on repeat
CHGIPLA STRPRTWTR(*NO) STRRSTD(*YES)
PWRDWNSYS DELAY(120) RESTART(*YES) IPLSRC(B)
This time it should not be on. I have something similar to this in my

instructions when I IPL to apply ptf's.

The point being that
1 - it may take two IPLs to get a clean one.
2 - another job can ENDJOBABN causing this issue.

I'd review the one posters suggestion on the DSPLOG.
