VARY XCF OFF always results in a 0A2 wait state on the target system. The DUMP and REIPL options of VARY XCF OFF simply cause the reason code for the 0A2 to be ones which are defined in the AutoIPL Wait State Action Table (WSAT) to cause the desired effect. AutoIPL is what actually initiates the dumping and/or reIPLing. (Although I disavowed responsibility for the AutoIPL heath check that Barbara didn't like, I was heavily involved in the design and implementation of the AutoIPL function. So I don't object to being the target of complaints about the function itself). Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
