Hi Guys !!!

I'm in transaction B.
Need to cancel a transaction A which is running in background indefinitely.
Transaction A initiated from Transaction B with START command.
Transaction B is accessing a TSQ created by Transaction A.

Help me out if u have any clue.......

Sasmita,

check this link for Using the START and CANCEL REQID commands

You can also use the set command to disable a transaction.check this link for explanation

Kolusu,
Sasmita says the transaction is already running, so there will be no REQID to cancel.

Sasmita,
For a running transaction you need to use the SET TASK PURGE/FORCEPURGE command, but you may not be allowed to use this since some sites restrict access to system programmer commands like this. Also, PURGE/FORCEPURGE will not always work immediately and sometimes not at all depending on what the target transaction is doing.
Why is A running indefinitely? Does it need to? Why exactly do you need to cancel it? Is it holding some resource that B needs? If so, could it free that resource with a SYNCPOINT? Could A reschedule itself with START and an interval and terminate instead of running constantly?
