Oh, you reminded old joke:
- Did you close the system?
- All started tasks? Let's check: (D A,L)
- Oh, will you stop the remaining started tasks?

I'm getting off topic, but... Thanks for that. To me, it seems more
often than not that operations folks think Z EOD stops the system. In
fact, they also think the system is doing nothing when they see an
empty D A,L response. Sometimes at that point I'll show them D A,ALL
and give them a surprise.

Yes, Z EOD is not "end of system". It is (my simplified view) just a
method to flush SMF buffers, etc. However even after that you can
issue D A,L and many more commands. BTW: Nowadays ICSF task should be
closed *after* Z EOD when SMF is encrypted using Pervasive Encryption.
The real system stop can be achieved in two ways:
1. VARY XCF,sysname,OFFLINE It will result with WTOR and then wait
state.
2. HMC Reset feature. Reset Normal or Reset Clear. I'ts like reset
button on some PC boxes.
