I plan on using QUPSDLYTIM and QUPSMSGQ to do some sort of clean shutdown.

Our UPS lasts a really long time, like 90 minutes or more.

I thought of using *NOMAX for QUPSDLYTIM but I have an issue with that.
One, if you brought your system down to restricted state and then the
power failure hits it kills the system right then and there if the message
queue specified in QUPSMSGQ is not locked by a job.
Two, if the shutdown program 'hangs' then your system does no orderly
shutdown.

But if I make that value too small then my program may not be done anyway.
But with 90+ minutes I can make it pretty substantial.

Any thoughts on this?
