ABORT
Aborts the current program or operation suspended by BREAK. (Native Mode)
Syntax
ABORT
Parameters
None.
Operation Notes
The ABORT command terminates a process that has been suspended by
pressing the Break key. Programs do not terminate while critical system
code is executing on their behalf, but terminate immediately following
execution of that code.
The ABORT command is available only from a session and only during BREAK,
but it does not disrupt the session. Some operations abort immediately
upon entering BREAK without requiring the ABORT command. An ABORT
command results in the job control word (JCW) being set to the SYSTEM 0
state. For a discussion of job control words, refer to the SETJCW
command.
Use
This command may be issued from a session (in BREAK only). It is not
available from a job or a program. Pressing Break has no effect on this
command.
Example
To abort the current program or operation, press Break. When the colon
prompt (:) appears, enter:
ABORT
The system then displays the message PROGRAM ABORTED PER USER REQUEST and
redisplays the colon prompt (:).
