Purging job from EXE queue

Hi,

I have submitted a job which executes an IMS program. It has gone to an infinite loop due to my changes I feel. Now I want to terminate the job, i tried purgign but still the job is in exec queue.

Is there any other option to terminate the job.

Thanks,
Salini

Even I used to face the same situation. Job used to get purged after sometime in my case. Same might happen in ur case also.

Hi Salini,

Don't Purge a Job. Cancel it. Use cancel command 'C' where you can use 'P'. If you want dump as well, then use 'CD'

And if that still doesn't work, call operations and have them kill your job. You have to eat a little crow, but it beats killing cpu cycles.

Hi !

If Purge & Cancel have no effect, you could Force the Job imediatly.
But Force will only be done by your operating-center i think.

If I am not wrong; in case of BMP programs YOU can not purge/cancel the job. To stop the job PSB would have to be stopped.

Hi,

U cannt cancel or purge the job when it is running... Make sure ur job is going in loop by ISPF option... If its going in loop, then u need to call to the operator and ask them to cancel (u should ask them to purge) the job with dump or without dump. If ur spool occupied more space means then u can purge the job after they cancel it... It is not at all possible for U to purge the job if it is IMS job...

But testing environment IMS jobs can cancel or purge while it running...

Hi All,

If you purge the job then the job will no longer available in the queue and you cannot see the job at all.

Next is Cancelling the job means the job will not successfully complete the execution but the user terminated it normally. But you can still the cancelled job in your queue.

Correct me if i am wrong on the above points.

Regards
Anil
