"How can I go about submitting a requirement for z/OS to acknowledge and handle the same external interrupt as VM, VSE and Linux use to trigger a controlled shutdown (or at least acknowledge it by printing a message we can capture via console automation and trigger the shutdown ourselves)? "
David, the best way to submit a requirement is through Share. Anyone can submit a requirement. Share has a new website that you'll need to sign up for, but you don't have to be a Share member. http://reqs4.share.org/Reqs4Who.jsp is the link to the requirements system. You can also submit a MR (Marketing Requirement) through your IBM Rep. IBM has had a renewed focus on Share requirements over the last couple of years. If you need assistance, please feel free to contact me off list.
