Stopping a TP or APPC/MVS Address Space with the CANCEL Command

The CANCEL (C) command immediately stops either:
  • A single instance of a TP
  • The APPC or ASCH address space.

If you cannot cancel an APPC TP and it is imperative that you stop it, you can issue the FORCE command. Before issuing FORCE, refer to z/OS MVS System Commands for a list of restrictions concerning this command.
