DSNM Commands
during which time the objects can be reported by DSNM as in either the DOWN or the 
PENDING state. 
Because each subsystem must stop its objects in a predetermined order, the ONLY 
hierarchy modifier is ineffective with certain object types if their subordinate objects are 
still up; that is, stopping certain object types forces their subordinates to also be stopped.
The STOP command is not appropriate for all object types; refer to the User’s Guide to 
DSNM Commands for details on these restrictions. 
Example
The following command stops the PUs and LUs that are subordinate to the SNAX line 
\WYJ.$STLR. It does not stop the SNAX line itself.  No error information is returned if 
a subsystem error occurs while the command is being executed.
STOP SNAX LINE \WYJ.$STLR, SUB-ONLY, ERROR-SUPPRESS
