Hi,

If you need to cancel the job enter C before the job and press Enter (or CNTR).

If you need to purge the information, then enter P.

Thanks,

Do you not have access to your own terminal to look at the SDSF screen and experiment a little ?

Siddesh,

Goto Spool, by entering s;st in the start command.

Goto the job , which u need to purge the details.

NP JOBNAME JOBID QUEUE
P XYZ T35610 ExecIO

Enter P near to the job (under col NP)

and press Enter (or CNTRL) twice to get the job purged.

note :

This can be done only for the job you have submitted under your id.

Thanks,
Diwakar

Hello,

Before you try to cancel or purge a job, i suggest you talk with the system support and/or security people to see if this is permissable on your system.

Many organizations do not allow "users" to cancel even their own jobs. If it is permitted, they can tell how you should do this on your system.
