Command List I
Commands ABORT to BYE
The ABORTJOB command can be applied to waiting and scheduled jobs, as well as to
executing jobs. If the spooler input file ($STDIN) for a batch job has been created and not
yet opened (in other words, the job is in the WAIT state), the entire file is deleted. If the
ABORTJOB command is issued before the output spoolfile is complete, only that portion of
the file already spooled is printed, along with an error message indicating that the job was
aborted. If a request is pending at the system console, it is automatically terminated by the
ABORTJOB/=ABORTJOB command and the following message appears on the system console:
time /#S nnn / pin /REQUEST REQUIRING OPERATOR REPLY FOR PIN # nn HAS BEEN ABORTED
When the ABORTJOB command is successful, a logoff message is displayed on the console,
indicating that the job has been aborted, as shown in the example below:
ABORTJOB #S9
11:20/#S9/34/LOGOFF ON LDEV #77
The standard error message that appears when a request is manually terminated by
entering Y in response to =REPLY (or REPLY) is displayed on the user's terminal:
SESSION ABORTED BY SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
The =ABORTJOB command may be used at the physical console if ABORTJOB is ineffective.
Refer to the "Use" section of this command.
Use
You may issue this command from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing
Break
has no effect on this command. It is executable only from the console unless it is
distributed to users with the ALLOW command, or the JOBSECURITY command is set to LOW
with AM or SM capability.
=ABORTJOB may be issued only from the console.
NOTE Users with AM capability may only abort jobs and sessions within their own
account. Users with SM capability may abort jobs and sessions across
accounts.
Examples
To terminate session number 139, enter:
ABORTJOB #S139
17:10/#S139/34/LOGOFF ON LDEV #62
To terminate job number 9, enter:
ABORTJOB #J9
20:18/#J9/26/LOGOFF ON LDEV #10
In both of the preceding examples, the LOGOFF ON LDEV # messages indicates that
ABORTJOB command was successfully executed.
To terminate session 6, which has a pending device allocation message, enter:
?17:00/#S6/23/LDEV# FOR "SCRTAPE" ON TAPE (NUM)?
ABORTJOB #S6
