Syntax

>>-+-*CANCEL-+--+-,--SETUP-+--+-,--jobno-----------+-----------><
   '-*C------'  '-,--S-----'  |       .-,-----.    |   
                              |       V       |    |   
                              '-,--(----jobno-+--)-'   

Parameters

SETUP or S

Specifies that the job currently being processed by MDS is to be canceled with a corresponding printout. (Jobs that are part of a DJC network cannot be canceled in this manner.)

jobno

Specifies the job number of the job to be canceled.

Note: *MODIFY,J= is the preferred way to cancel a job in setup. However, *MODIFY,J= cannot be used for jobs that are internally created by JES3 to satisfy device fence allocation requests and *MODIFY,S,M= commands.
