CL command to vary off a line description -- MIDRANGE-L

Steve McKay is exactly right!

I have a CLLE that performs the VRYCFG command before and after our backups. The CLLE is an entry
In WRKJOBSCDE about a minute before the backup kicks off. The CLLE runs this:

VRYCFG CFGOBJ(TAPMLB04) CFGTYPE(*MLBRSC) STATUS(*ALLOCATE) RSRCNAME(TAP03)

When the backups have completed (via BRMS), we have a WRKCTLGBRM entry at the end of it that
Call a program that does this:

PGM
VRYCFG CFGOBJ(TAPMLB04) CFGTYPE(*MLBRSC) +
STATUS(*DEALLOCATE) RSRCNAME(TAP03)
ENDPGM

This way I can engineer the VRYCFG from any partition in WRKJOBSCDE as needed and
use the program to deallocate the resource on any partition on any WRKCTLGBRM
as is needed.

Just an example but I'm sure you get the idea that there is a lot of flexibility and creativity
Available.

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a CL command that I can use to vary off a line and then later vary it back on. Right now I manually:

WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*LIN) CFGD(ETHLIN01)
Take option 2 to vary it off
Make a change using CHGLINETH command
Take option 1 to vary it on

Can this be scripted with CL commands? This is part of some steps I need to do to get our DR machine ready for testing and I'm trying to automate it as much as possible.
