The complete syntax for the HALT command is:
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.
