requirement for z/OS to at least acknowled:
I think the problem is that in z/OS there is no "one" way of
notification (I know you are asking for one).
There are at least 2 (3 if you count z) commands to "stop an
application", "P" and ,technically "F" I know F is usually modify
but it is also used as stop.
All the applications would have to be re-written. An interface would
have to be created (again programs would have to be altered and or
re-written).
I am not against it per se it would be a few years to implement I am
sure. Plus there is an issue of timing on how things happen. I smell
an ugly up rising.

I do not think that he is requesting that the interrupt has to
trigger a MVS Shut-Down - Only that when the interrupt occurs that
the system acknowledge that it has occurred and respond to it
somehow. A suggestion in his request was that a console message be
issued to alert the operator and (if one exists) the message handling
operations package. The Message would go to the master consoles and
would be flagged as non-scrollable. That meets he defined request.
