How do you cancel a job in Xpediter?

I can't Xpedite a particular module because it always display an error of REQUESTED PROGRAM 'XXXXXXXX' IS IN USE..TRY LATER. I tried to compile it in TSO but to no avail.

I'm running the Xpediter to debug a module in CICS region, and suddenly my connection got cut off. Now I can't run the module anymore, everytime i enter the command NEWC it displays an error

Go to CICS and check the running tasks and then do purge.

Either it is in use or its use count is larger than zero. If the first, cancel the transaction, if the second, reduce the use count.

It's not working. I tried to purge the tasks but it displays 'PURGE FAILED', can't view the error. I even attempted to force purge the task but it's useless.

Tas(0000074) Tra(TT01) Fac(Z125) Sus Ter Pri( 000 ) PURGE FAILED
Sta(TP) Use(C001492 ) Uow(C040CE3C6F855649) Hty(ZCIOWAIT)

Any more ideas?

Thanks

If this is development CICS region then try to shutdown and restart or talk to your System Admin Group to cancel this task.

The ZCIOWAIT should be the clue, things generally won't purge while in a hardware wait..... See if you can get VTAM to issue the terminiation.

Hi,

First you issue

CEMT INQ TASK
--this will display the list of tasks that are currently running/active.
--see your task (it will also shows userid, transaction id) and give "PO" at right of the line to force purge the task.

CECI REL PROG(programname) will do the trick.
