ABORTIO/ =ABORTIO
Aborts a single pending I/O request for a device.
Syntax
ABORTIO ldev =ABORTIO ldev
Parameters
ldev The logical device number of the device for which
you intend to abort one pending I/O request.
Operation Notes
This command aborts a single pending I/O request for the specified ldev.
To delete all queued I/O requests for a device, repeat the ABORTIO
command until the following message appears on the $STDLIST device:
NO I/O TO ABORT FOR DEVICE #ldev
Devices that are job-accepting or data-accepting always have outstanding
READ requests pending, due to the auto-recognition feature of MPE/iX. Use
the ABORTIO command to clear these pending input requests.
Sometimes, you may need to clear all outstanding I/O requests to allow
proper execution of other console commands including ABORTJOB, TAKE,
DOWN, and REFUSE.
NOTE If the ABORTIO command is not effective from the system console,
use the =ABORTIO command. (You can only issue the CTRL A =ABORTIO
command from the physical console.) Use the =ABORTIO command only
when you cannot execute the ABORTIO command.
Use
You may issue the ABORTIO 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 distributed to users with the ALLOW or
ASSOCIATE command.
The =ABORTIO console command cannot be issued from a job.
Examples
To abort a pending I/O request for logical device 53, enter:
ABORTIO 53
It is necessary to issue several ABORTIO commands to abort all pending
I/O operations on a spooled device, as shown below:
STOPSPOOL 5

11:20/31/LDEV#5 NOT READY
REFUSE 5
