ABORTJOB/CtrlA ABORTJOB
The ABORTJOB/CtrlA ABORTJOB command terminates either a designated job or
session. Typically, you use this command to cancel a job that you
decided not to run but had already streamed. You can also use this
command to terminate one or more sessions, if necessary, for system
emergencies or scheduled shutdowns.
Syntax
From a terminal:
{#Jnnn }
ABORTJOB {#Snnn }
{[jobname,]user.acct}
From the console:
{#Jnnn }
CtrlA ABORTJOB {#Snnn }
{[jobname,]user.acct}
Parameters
#Jnnn Specifies a job number.
#Snnn Specifies a session number.
jobname Specifies the name of the job, as identified by the
SHOWJOB command.
user Specifies a user name.
acct Specifies an account name.
Operation Notes
NOTE You need to use the SHOWJOB command to determine the job or session
number of the operation you want to cancel. If you need more
information on SHOWJOB, refer to the section on that command later
in this chapter.
* Usage
You can enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in
break mode. Pressing Break does not affect this command.
You must enter the CtrlA ABORTJOB command from the console. You
can enter the ABORTJOB command from a terminal other than the
console if the JOBSECURITY command is set to LOW, or if your
system administrator has used the ALLOW command, which permits you
to enter this command.
* Differences between ABORTJOB and CtrlA ABORTJOB
Both of these commands function identically except that you can
enter CtrlA ABORTJOB only from the console. The = sign appears
when you press CtrlA. Pressing these keys enables you to enter
certain commands on a console from which another process (such as
STORE) is currently running.
* Recommended usage
If you use the [jobname,]user.acct form of the command when more
than one job or session is executing with the same name, the
system selects the job or session that it aborts. Consequently,
you should use the #Jnnn or #Snnn form of the command for more
precise control of jobs or sessions to be terminated. Although
the job or session abnormally terminates, log records are issued,
and CPU times and connect times are updated. All I/O activity
terminates, such as printing, and reading or writing files.
* Waiting and scheduled jobs
You can also use the ABORTJOB command for waiting and scheduled
jobs, as well as for executing jobs. If a request is pending at
the console, the command automatically terminates the request, and
the following message appears on the console:
time/#Snnn/pin/REQUEST REQUIRING OPERATOR REPLY FOR
PIN #nn HAS BEEN ABORTED
Refer to the Glossary for a definition of the process
identification number (PIN).
Examples
* To terminate session number 139, enter:
:ABORTJOB #S139
The system responds by displaying the following logoff message on
the console if the session ends successfully:
17:10/#S139/34/LOGOFF ON LDEV #12
* To terminate job number 9, enter:
:ABORTJOB #J9
The system responds by displaying the following logoff message if
the executing job successfully terminates:
20:18/#J9/26/LOGOFF ON LDEV #10
This message does not appear when you terminate waiting or
scheduled jobs.
* To terminate session 6, which has the following pending device
allocation message, enter:
?17:00/#S6/23/LDEV# FOR "SCRTAPE" ON TAPE (NUM)?
:ABORTJOB #S6
The system responds by displaying the following message:
17:10/#S6/120/REQUEST REQUIRING OPERATOR REPLY FOR
PIN 23 HAS BEEN ABORTED
17:10/#S6/120/LOGOFF ON LDEV #58
