Controlling autonomous procedures

Autonomous procedures use a unit of work that is independent of the calling application. However, you can cancel the autonomous procedure by canceling the invoking thread.

To control autonomous procedures:

1. Issue a DISPLAY THREAD command to find the status of the autonomous procedure and the token for the invoking thread.
   The token for the thread is shown in a DSNV520I message.
   The following example output from a DISPLAY THREAD command shows that an autonomous procedure was invoked by the thread with the token 13:

   19.26.27         >dis thd(*) service(stg) 
   19.26.27 STC00065  DSNV401I  > DISPLAY THREAD REPORT FOLLOWS -
   19.26.27 STC00065  DSNV402I  > ACTIVE THREADS -               
   NAME     ST A   REQ ID           AUTHID   PLAN     ASID TOKEN 
   BATCH    RA *     1 TMH11003     SYSADM   PLAN2    003D    13 
   V492-LONG 12K 64VLONG 196K 64LONG 200K                     ;    
   V442-CRTKN=USIBMSY.SYEC1DB2.C760EC93ED89               ;       
   V445-USIBMSY.SYEC1DB2.C760EC93ED89=13 ACCESSING DATA FOR     
     <SYEC1DB2>-SYEC1DB2                                      ;    
   BATCH    AT *     0 TMH11003     SYSADM   PLAN2    003D     0 
   V520-AUTONOMOUS PROCEDURE INVOKED BY THREAD WITH TOKEN = 13 
   V492-LONG 12K 64VLONG 136K 64LONG 260K                     ;    
   DISPLAY ACTIVE REPORT COMPLETE       

2. Issue a CANCEL THREAD command to cancel the thread that invoked the autonomous procedure.
   For example, you might issue the following command to cancel the thread that invoked the autonomous procedure shown in the preceding example:

   -CANCEL THREAD (13)
