Stopping DBCTL abnormally

There is no equivalent of a CICS® immediate shutdown in DBCTL. If you need to force termination of DBCTL, the MVS™ console operator has to issue an MVS MODIFY jobname STOP command.

About this task

This causes an abnormal termination without a dump. If you want a dump to be taken, use an MVS MODIFY jobname DUMP command. For guidance on using MVS commands with IMS, see Operations and automation in IMS product documentation.
