Stopping local processors *RETURN

Function

Before you remove a local main for maintenance or other reasons, allow jobs currently running to complete normally. Enter an * F, V,main,OFF command for the local main to prevent JES3 from scheduling any further jobs on the processor.

After all jobs on the local main have completed processing, issue the *RETURN command to end JES3.

Then issue the HALT EOD command on the local main to ensure that important statistics and data records in storage are not permanently lost. See z/OS MVS System Commands for information about stopping MVS™.

Note: When you use the RETURN command to stop local processors, it is suggested that you use 8RETURN instead of *RETURN.
