There are a couple of ways. First, in the HSM parmlib, there is a SETSYS MOUNTWAITTIME(xx), with the xx being in minutes. After the specified amount of time HSM will prompt the operator to reply if the tape can be mounted. The operator can reply N to this prompt and that will cancel the mount and send a message to the requestor that the request failed.
Second you can issue a Q ACT(TCBADDRESS). This will come back with a TCBADDRESS for each active task. Then you need to hold the process (recall, recover etc). Once it is held then issue C TCBADDRESS(x'yyyyyyyy') with yyyyyyyy being the TCBADDRESS. This will cause the task to abend in HSM and the mount will go away. Then you can release the process. Be sure that you get the right TCBADDRESS!
