Shutdown Command Processing for INIT or FINAL

To define shutdown commands for INIT or FINAL phases, you enter S or C in the Cmd field on the Subsystem Shutdown Processing panel for those phases. This displays a Command Processing panel, as shown in Figure 1.

You can use line commands in the Cmd field to manipulate the entries on this panel as described in Specifying Startup Commands.

Use the following fields to enter the commands that are particular to the specified shutdown phase:
Mixed case
Specify whether the value entered in the Data field remains unchanged (YES) or is translated to upper case characters automatically (NO).
Type
Enter the condition that the command should be executed for. The following values (for the corresponding shutdown phases) are allowed:
Condition Shutdown phase
NORM SHUTNORM
IMMED SHUTIMMED
FORCE SHUTFORCE
Leaving this field blank means that the command is executed for any condition.
AutoFn/*

See AutoFn/* in Command Processing for a detailed description.

Command Text
Enter the command or command list that is to be issued. You must preface a system command with MVS.
Notes:
  1. You cannot issue multiple passes of initial shutdown commands.
  2. Do not invoke MDFYSHUT.

The entries on this panel can be inherited from a class, in which case they are displayed in a different color. Because all of the commands are inherited together, if you edit one of them they all change color to indicate that they are now particular to that instance.

You can find out which class a value has been inherited from by typing the command classname (or its abbreviation cn) on the command line.
