STOP REGION command enhancement

The /STOP REGION command has a new ABDUMP FORCE keyword to terminate regions with a TERM PENDING or WAIT-INIT-INPROG status when a CREATE THREAD is not performed on IMS.

The STOP REGION command is enhanced with APAR/ PTF PI97394/UI60483 for IMS 14 and PH05432/UI60488 for IMS 15 to include a new ABDUMP FORCE keyword. This option terminates a range of messages processing the regions with WAIT-INIT-INPROG or TERM PENDING status when a CREATE THREAD is not performed on IMS. This enhancement is applicable to MPP and JMP regions.

You must issue a /STO REGION ABDUMP FORCE to stop a region with a TERM PENDING status when SIGN-ON and IDENTIFY are completed for the region, but a CREATE THREAD is not yet performed on IMS and /STOP REG could not stop the region.
