My use of the command has been restricted to cancelling VARY (device range) commands where the range of the command has exceeded the intended range. This has usually occurred in connection with some other issue that has prevented timely completion of the vary commands.
The short answer is that when something hangs allocation, a vary (device range) takes a very long time to complete or time out further hanging allocation. No adverse impacts were observed in these cases. HTH <snip> We would very much appreciate hearing from customers that have used the z/OS CMDS ABEND command to terminate a command. -- What commands have you terminated, and what was your experience in doing so? Was it worth the risk? Were there undesirable side-effects? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
