VFORCE

Edit online

Cancels the terminal session of a selected user.

Type

CL/SuperSession operator command

Format

VFORCE USER=userid
userid
The user ID (1–8 characters). If entry validation is not being used, the userid can equal the 1–8 character physical terminal ID.

Usage Notes

  1. You must specify USER.
  2. You must execute the VCANCEL command before using VFORCE.
  3. When you issue the VFORCE command, a message notifies you that VFORCE was successful or that the user was not found. If, however, the message states that the user was not forced and that the virtual session is hung, issue the VFORCE command again.
  4. If you issue the VFORCE command from a CLIST or a dialog function, always enter WAIT 1 after each command.

Example

To cancel the virtual sessions for a user whose user ID is USER08:

   VFORCE USER=USER08
