Sometimes i used to open 8 sessions concurrently.I need to close all the sessions using one command.Is there any rexx or tso command to do this?

I heard that we can include an option in ispf main menu like

8. Logoff.

try to execute this command in tso or ispf prompt giving =8 or =logoff, so that all the sessions will be closed at a time.(similar to =x)

thanks!

Just click the big X at the top right hand of the screen. That usually works for me.

The session will timeout and close on its own then. I never logout of my sessions. I just restart the PC at the end of the day. They timeout after 20 minutes of no activity.

Hello,

Of course if we have one or more files opened, and simply click the X or re-boot the pc, we may make them unavailable until the timeout happens.

Unfortunately, there are still many systems that do not detect that the session "has gone away" and just tie up whatever is in use by the session until the timeout occurs.

The big X depends on system setup. By using the X the system connection is severed thus terminating the session(s).

The next time that you connect, the system should log you on again.

I will admit that this is subject to site specific setup, but the last 4 sites I have worked have all been the same.

I don't know if this is site specific as well, but if you backout to a Netview Access main menu and do a logoff # where # is the id of the TSO session, it will close all of your stuff in all 8 sessions in TSO.

Hi,

One alternate way can be, PURGE your own ID.
Try this: S.ST/ PRE RACF-ID(on command line)/ Put P(Purge) in front of the job running against your ID, usually this job shows the name of ID owner on right hand side of job statistics.

Yeah, I hope it's
