You can stop a nucleus using   [ADADBS OPERCOM](http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/adabas/ada824mfr/adamf/util/adadbs-OPERCOM.htm) but there is no way of starting it again by means of an Adabas utility, you will have to submit the job again or your site may have a utility to issue a START command for a STC. ---

we do have START command for a STC. I am just curious about UTILITY. ---

There is no Software AG utility to issue a START command, you will need to talk to your site’s z/OS staff for that. ---

This would then be a z/OS utility to issue a start (S ) on console. Or a you can write your own program doing this. Many sites have onther software to issue e.g. stop (P) and starts (S) on console. If it is a job you can from Natural submit the job via natrje to internal reader. ---

If you have the proper security rights, you can simply submit a job. //JOBNAME JOB // COMMAND ‘S STCNAME’ //DUMMY EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 The Start command will execute immediately even if the job has to wait in the input queue to execute. When I submitted the job, the Start command executed at 10.35.12 but the job didn’t start until 10.35.22. ---
