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
JOBNUM STATE INPRI JIN JLIST INTRODUCED JOB NAME
#68 SUSP 105 LP WED. 7:56AM TEST,USER.ACCT
