Hi Everyone reading me,
I am in a console Operations team, in charge of doing a weekly IPL for one of our accounts. Now a days I do almost manually using a recorded macro and that is played in  "IBM Personal Communications" emulator. But I would like to automate this process, and thought of maybe using a job to do so.

My experience in JCL is little, could you please help me with the JCL skeleton where to put the shutdown commands for the STCs? I think the structure of the jcl should be close to the following:

//SYSSHUT1 JOB    (0001),CLASS=F,MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),NOTIFY=&SYSUID,REGION=0M 
//CMMDSEQ EXEC PGM=? (which utility program?)
//CMMD1 'P STCNAME1'
//CMMD2 'P STCNAME2'
...
//CMMDN 'P STCNAMEN' (here in the last command probably it would be the '$PJES2')
//



Thanks in advance,
And hope you have a nice Xmas and even better start of 2022. Regards

This won't work for a normal z/OS system as these routines and programs are only available on the ADCD for PWD systems.

I personally would not do it this way as all tasks will be shutdown regardless of any dependencies which could lead to problems. The best way to do this is with an automation product such as System Automation (or even just Netview) or a freebie such as TSSO on the CBTTape:

If you really want to go this way, then some good hints are available here:
