Preventing Startup Program from Running

In the QCTL controlling subsystem, there is an auto job entry called QSTRUPJD. It runs as soon as the QCTL is started. In the QSTRUPJD job description, a request data CALL QSYS/QWDAJPGM retrieves system value QSTRUPPGM. The program that is specified in the system value will run. If system value QSTRUPPGM is set to *NONE, there is no startup program to call.

To change the system value, on the operating system command line type the following:
CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QSTRUPPGM) VALUE(*NONE)
Press the Enter key.

The help text on the operating system for the system value includes the following:
A change to this system value takes effect the next time the system is IPLed. The shipped value is QSYS/QSTRUP.
