The BREAKJOB command suspends any executing job, including spooled and streamed jobs. A job using a critical system resource does not suspend until it releases the resource.

Syntax

   BREAKJOB #Jnnn

Parameters

#Jnnn

Specifies a job number.

Operation Notes

  • Usage

    You can enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in break mode. Pressing Break does not affect this command.

    You must enter this command from the console. You can enter this command from a terminal other than the console under one of the following conditions:

    • The JOBSECURITY command is set to LOW and the job is logged on to your user account. (AM users only need to match the job's account name.)

    • Your system administrator has used the ALLOW command, which permits you to enter this command.

  • Nonshareable devices

    When you enter this command for a job that controls a nonshareable device, a console message appears that lists the device(s) that the job controls. As many as ten devices may be listed. You can then decide whether to allow the job to continue running until it releases the device(s), or whether you should abort the job.

Examples

  • To suspend the processing of job number 68, enter:

       :BREAKJOB #J68
    
  • To display suspended jobs, enter:

       :SHOWJOB SUSP
