Hello,

i had submitted a job..it has run for some time but after that it has stopped but it is still in the input queue..Now i want to purge this.
i gave commands like P(purge), C(cancel), D(delete).. for all these it says Command issued but job does not come out of Input queue..

does anybody have solution for this

Hi Bala,

I have also experienced this problem quite often.I suppose the job is actually Purged or Cancelled when we issue those commands in SDSF but it does take time to get the message...JOB CANCELLED ..etc.
This might be due to low CPU % given to logon IDs at certain time..i.e when the mainframe CPU is quite loaded (Just a wild guess Idea

).

Look at the SYSLOG to see if the cancel command took. If this is running under the control of another application, such as IMS, you can't cancel it this way.

lal,

You can issue the CDA command just like any other command (P, C..) .i.e type CDA on the extreme left side of the jobname.

Coolman,
Did you try this on a job which is active ? I think you will get invalid command if the job already finished execution.

What exactly is this cda command? How does it differ from the regular cancel and purge command?

Mfjin,

The CDA command works exactly the same way as the CANCEL command. This command will be useful to cancel when the job is execueting. I just want to point out that cancel and purge commands work differently. If you issue a cancel command it will just cancel the job , but the job output is still available, but on the other if you issue a purge command , it not only cancels the job but also will delete the entire the job output.

Check this link for a detailed explanation of Action Characters on the SDSF Panels

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

Thanks Kolusu. So the CDA is exactly the same as C. So do you see a possibility of cda succeeding in cancelling the job when c is not working?

Bala,
And regarding jobs not getting cancelled, this is possible if your job is busy recalling migrated datasets. Once the datasets have been recalled you will get your cancelled message.

Hi All

Thanks for your valuable inputs. In fact nothing worked for me, Actually the problem was with Db2 subsystem which my job was using. The db2 log files were running out of space but the job was not abending( Quite strange), But if I go to
DB2AMSTR job and see it was printing Message like SB37 -04 by that we could able make out that this is a space problem in DB2,

Thanks Kolusu for your inputs

Hi Mfjin, Actually the main difference between 'C' and CDA is C will just give output where as CDA will produce runtime Dump for the particular Job
