  Of course the "start to restricted state" [STRRSTD] IPL attribute 
handles that, so it seems just as easy if not easier to simply use 
the CHGIPLA vs CHGSYSVAL before the PWRDWNSYS RESTART(*IPLA); no 
need for two programs\sources anyway, only one /change/ vs two so 
only the STRSBS of the controlling subsystem after the final IPL.
