Mike,
Yes it can. You can run a job that issues the DCMT SHUTDOWN command. The userid the job runs under needs to have IDMS signon authority and authority to issue the shutdown command.
Something like this:
//<your job card>
//*
//SHUTDOWN EXEC PGM=RHDCUCFB,REGION=2M
//STEPLIB DD DSN=<your IDMS software library>,DISP=SHR
//SYSCTL DD DSN=<your SYSCTL dataset>,DISP=SHR
//SYSLST DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIPT DD *
DCMT SHUTDOWN IMM
Y
BYE

Hope this helps,
