Hello,

Does it convey some message to you ?
Your ID is also "running" as JOB under MVS console, if you try to purge a JOB which has JOB name starting with Your ID , you must have it of 8-characters. (7-charactes from your ID & any alphanumeric literal). BTW, What is the the JOB name you used ? |

TSO CANCEL will work if you supply it with a non-ambiguous jobname and use the correct syntax.
If you are a systems programmer, ignore this question:
why would you want to use the Foreground cancel command instead of going to your job display and perform the cancel there? though not necessary, will help you to find the correct job to cancel.
most people that I know only use the CANCEL command in scripts, where they have already interrogated the jeslist and know what is where.
if you are only trying to save time, you should check out the TSO DELETE command, saves you from using 3.1 screens for pds's and 3.4 screens for ds's. |

| You should check first and see what jobs you are allowed to purge before you try doing it! |

The default for CANCEL to only allow jobnames that consist of your userid plus a letter.
If you want to change the behavior, see "Writing an Exit for the OUTPUT, STATUS, and CANCEL Commands" in the TSO/E Customization" manual. |
