Hi, thanks for the advice,

There is no Control Panel Functions is SST (there is in DST but i cant get there as i cant get the box into Manual) I don know if this is different at higher levels of OS I cant remember, and this one is running V5R1.

 

If you run CHGIPLA (F4) you still cant change the front panel options unless the key is inserted, see below:

                                                    
 Specifies the keylock position.  A change to this     
 attribute takes effect immediately.  The following    
 restrictions apply when the keylock position is being 
 changed:                                              
  o  The keylock position cannot be set to MANUAL for  
     security reasons.                                 
  o  If the keylock position is currently SECURE, the  
     keylock position cannot be changed.               
  o  If the system has a keylock and the key is not    
     inserted, the keylock position cannot be changed.

The option to change from Normal to Manual is not in the PWRDWNSYS menu, once again this may be different in other versions of the OS (not sure that it is). 

 

NB: I am signed into the OS and SST as QSECOFR
