BREAKJOB
Suspends an executing job. (Native Mode)
Syntax
BREAKJOB #Jnnn
Parameters
#Jnnn A job number.
Operation Notes
The operator can use the BREAKJOB command to suspend any executing job,
including spooled and streamed jobs. A job using a critical system
resource is not suspended until it releases the resource.
When you issue the BREAKJOB command for a job that controls a
nonshareable device, a console message is displayed listing the device(s)
that the job controls. (As many as ten devices may be listed.) You may
then decide whether the job should be allowed to run until it releases
the device(s), or whether it should be aborted.
All commands that normally affect executing jobs, such as ABORTJOB,
operate on suspended jobs. The SHOWJOB command, which lists all jobs,
displays SUSP for those in the suspended state. To list suspended jobs
only, enter SHOWJOB SUSP.
Use
This command may be issued 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 command, or if
JOBSECURITY is set to LOW.
Examples
To suspend job number 68, enter:
BREAKJOB #J68
To display suspended jobs, enter:
SHOWJOB SUSP
