The comments are bad. The "C*" commands are JES2 cancel.
The "K*" commands and "Z" issue an MVS cancel / force. The
K/Z work fine for a batch job as well as STCs.
C Cancel a job.
CA Cancel a job that is defined to Automatic
Restart Manager (ARM).
CD Cancel a job and take a dump.
CDA Cancel a job that is defined to ARM, and take a dump.
K Cancel a started task (system cancel).
KD Cancel a started task and take a dump (system cancel).
Z Cancel a started task (system force).
