The procedure you are describing would present an Interrupt Key external interruption, and that is not what Standalone DFDSS
is looking for. It is looking for an attention from what looks like a channel-attached console (which on days machines would be OSA-ICC), which you would do by hitting ENTER in the console, or an unsolicited interrupt from the Operating System Messages console on the HMC, which you would do by clicking SEND.
