STOP JOB Command

Use the STOP JOB command to stop a job.

jobid

is a valid, unique job identifier with a maximum of eight characters. The characters

can be alphabetic, numeric, wild-card (* or ?), or a combination. The first character

cannot be numeric. Job IDs are not case-sensitive.

You can use asterisks (*) or question marks (?) as wild-card characters in a job ID.

The asterisk can represent from zero through eight unspecified characters in the

position you place it. The question mark represents only one character in the

position you place it.

For example:

A1234567

aaaaaaaa

abcdEFG

I607

I*07

I???

Guidelines



The STOP command terminates the job at the next update of the job record.



The job must be in the RUN state before the STOP JOB command takes effect. If

the job is in any other state, use the ABORT JOB command to stop the job. For

more information, see the ABORT JOB Command on page 5-3



The STOP JOB command updates the BRJOBS file but does not delete the

BRCMD file or BRIC file. No cleanup is performed.



A super-group user (255,n) can stop any job. The owner of a job can also stop it.
