PWR

Power commands are not supported within the JCL stream.

Syntax:

 *------------------------------------------------------------
 *--- // PWR PRELEASE RDR,JOBNAME
 *--- // PWR PHOLD
 *---    POWER command
 *---------------------------------------------------------------

There are a number of options available instead:

Use the ESMAC job entry and job control system to enter the commands
Use a job scheduler to effect condition control of job hold and release
Use a provisional user exit to process the PWR command

There is a user exit program, MFJESPWR. This program verifies the syntax of the PWR statement and reports in the JESYSMSG whether a PWR was successful or not.
