Purges jobs awaiting transmission. Deletes returning output data sets for jobs already transmitted to the host.

If you are connected to a VSE/POWER host system, only jobs awaiting transmission are cancelled.

Syntax

          {         SpoolfileID            }
          {            Name                }
CA[NCEL]  {      UserName.AcctName         } [;W[SID]=Wsid]
          {             @                  }
          { ;HJ=HostJob [,HostJob [,...]]  } 

Parameters

SpoolfileID

Cancels one of your jobs.

The SpoolfileID is assigned by the spooler after a job is submitted. Jobs can be cancelled by SpoolfileID only before they have been transmitted to the host.

Enter a value of the form nnnnn, where n is any digit.

Name

Job name assigned by the user in the SUBMIT command. You can submit several jobs with the same name.

Use of this parameter cancels all of your jobs with this Name.

A job name begins with a letter, and may be up to eight alphanumeric characters long.

UserName.AcctName

Cancels jobs for a specific UserName.AcctName. A period (.) must separate UserName from AcctName.

Jobs awaiting transmission to the host under this UserName.AcctName are purged. Data sets returning from the host for jobs submitted under this UserName.AcctName prior to this command are purged as they return.

If your logon UserName.AcctName is different from the jobs you want to cancel, you must be a user configured with NM capability to use this parameter.

@

Cancels all jobs from the current logon UserName.AcctName. Jobs awaiting transmission to the host under the current UserName.AcctName are purged. Data sets returning from the host for jobs submitted under this UserName.AcctName prior to this command are purged as they return.

HostJob

Either the job name from the JCL JOB card or the job number assigned by the host. All entries in the NRJE Job Log matching the job name and the logon UserName.AcctName are cancelled.

Multiple job numbers or names, to a maximum of five jobs, are allowed and must be delimited by commas.

Jobs can be cancelled using the HostJob parameter only after they have been entered in the Job Log (that is, transmitted to the host). The Job Log is marked so that data sets returning for the specified jobs are purged.

If you are connected to a VSE/POWER host system, this parameter is not allowed.

Wsid

Overrides the default Wsid named in the NRJE command, for this command only.

When you specify WSID=Wsid in the CANCEL command, you cancel jobs you have submitted at workstation Wsid.

Description

The CANCEL command enables you to remove previously submitted jobs from the transmission queue and, for JES2 and JES3 users, to cause NRJE to automatically purge output data sets for jobs that have already been transmitted to the host. Use the SHOW command to get information about jobs you want to cancel.

You can specify a particular workstation transmission queue by entering the WSID=Wsid parameter in this command. If you omit the Wsid parameter, this command refers to the transmission queue of the default workstation. You establish a default workstation by using the Wsid parameter when you start an NRJE workstation with an NRJE command.

You must confirm each interactively issued CANCEL command (see example).

Restrictions

  • Jobs you want to cancel before they are transmitted must be in the READY state. You can enter a SHOW command to determine the state of a job.

  • If you are configured with NM capability, you can cancel any job. However, if you do not have NM capability, you can cancel only those jobs submitted under your logon UserName.AcctName.

Example

R19>CANCEL;HJ=6461
CONFIRM (Y/N)Y
1 HOST JOB(S) CANCELLED.
 
R19>SHOW;HJ=6461
 
--JOB#= 6461  JOBNAME= $SP#CI@L  USER=USER.NRJETEST      **CANCELLED**
  2 DATA SET(S) RECEIVED FROM HOST AS OF WED, AUG 5, 1987, 10:50 AM
  PR= (NOT SPECIFIED)  PU= (NOT SPECIFIED)  FO=FORMSOUT.NRJELU.NRJETEST
 
1 JOB(S) SHOWN TRANSMITTED TO HOST.
 
R19> ...

Text Reference

The NRJECancel intrinsic removes untransmitted jobs from the MPE Spooler. The NRJEHJCancel intrinsic marks the Job Log to dispose of returning data sets. See Chapter 5 “User Intrinsics”
