If your site allows .... (mine doesn't)
| Code: |
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
// COMMAND '<first command>'
// COMMAND '<second command>'
// ...
// COMMAND '<nth command>' |
(from competitor site link removed)
Garry. |

| If your job is triggered from scheduler like CA7.. You can cancel that from facility available in scheduler as well.. |

I was just worried it was a "which way round do these bullets go?" and "is it best to put the muzzle against temple or bridge-of-the-nose?" sort of question. :-)
When I was a lad we weren't allowed to just up and cancel stuff on our own. OPs or Production Support did that, even for testing. They kept a log of who asked that it should be done. CYA. |

I admit that I'm torn between emphasizing to the TS that this is the sort of scheme that gets junior software engineers terminated with extreme prejudice, and solemnly handing him a loaded revolver and explaining how to use it  |

Hello,

Why do you think this is something you should do? How will the job be canceled be identified to the jcl?
If someone has to modify/submit jcl to cancel a job, why not do this one of the "standard" ways?
If you post a question and then disappear, no one benefits. |

I guess this "post something and disappear" is a common problem:
Surely the OP will deliver
OP = Original Poster, instead of TS = Topic Starter |

Thanks all for reply. I was on vacation so could not keep check on the post.
Here is the reason why i need to cancel the job from job.
> Job A gets submited from IMS
> Job A executes PROC A (which executes main program A)
> Also it put JOB B on INTRDR which sends email in case Prog A abends or return code is greater than 4
> In case Program A executes normaly i need to cancel the job B to avoid email.
> There is some utility (specific to system) used to cancel the mail job B but i am unable to find the source code for that. This utility works fine in prod but in test it is unable to cancel the job B.
I hope this will clear the confusion.
thanks |

Why don't you have JOB B(email sending step) as the last step of JOB A and check for condition codes of previous steps and send email if necessary.
But if you really want a solution of cancelling the job via JCL, I think Garry Carrol's post @ Tue Aug 16, 2011 1:09 pm might be the simpler way. |

sejal214,
Going around cancelling jobs is not one of the things I'd recommend just "trying".
As has previously been suggested, make sure you have permission to do this, that it is not just some idea of your own. |
