I do as well, largely out of force of habit. Strictly speaking, the stopall isn't necessary, since QUIESCE loads a disabled wait state into all CPUs, but it's not a bad habit to get into. The main reason?to do the QUIESCE is to ensure that all I/O has been completed before stopping the system; merely stopping all processors does not guarantee that?(you may get unlucky and catch it with an I/O in flight).
Jay,
I always (well almost always)
z eod
quiesce
stopall
quit
(It is my understanding that quiesce ensures that MVS buffers are
written to the "hercules virtual buffers" and the stopall ensures that
hercules writes its buffers to the "Windows or Linux" emulated disk
files.).
