To abort a job

You can stop or abort any job. Aborting a job is similar to forcing someone to log off the computer; you even use the same command. Aborting a job does not destroy the job file, though. It just removes the job from the computer's list of things to do.

To abort a job, first identify the job number by entering:

   SHOWJOB JOB=@J 

You must abort jobs one at a time. To do so, enter the ABORTJOB command and the number of the job you want to abort (in place of nnn) as shown in this example:

   ABORTJOB #Jnnn

Repeat the ABORTJOB command for each job that you want to abort. To verify that a job was successfully aborted, enter the SHOWJOB command and the job number (in place of nnn) as in the following example:

   SHOWJOB #Jnnn 

When the computer sends you a "NO SUCH JOB(S)" message, then you have succeeded.
