Syntax

The complete syntax for the HALT command is:

 
Z EOD

The HALT EOD command causes the system to take the following steps:

Store the internal I/O device error counts in the logrec data set.
Empty the SMF buffers onto the active SMF data set in SYS1.MANx.
Switch to another SMF data set in SYS1.MANx, allowing the previously active SMF data set to be dumped according to your installation's procedures.
Close the system log and put it on the print queue.

When these actions are completed, the system sends you the message:

IEE334I HALT EOD SUCCESSFUL.
