The ABORT Command
Because subsystems generally must abort objects in a predetermined order, the ONLY
hierarchy modifier is ineffective with certain object types if their subordinate objects are
still up; that is, aborting certain object types forces their subordinates to be aborted also.
The ABORT command is not appropriate for all object types; refer to the User’s Guide
to DSNM Commands for details.
Example
The following command stops the Expand lines in the group ALL-EXPAND:
ABORT ALL-EXPAND
The default hierarchy modifier is ALL, but because the group consists only of lines that
have no subordinate objects, there are no subordinate objects to stop.
