Now you made me look. It's also Withdraw, Terminate, and Prevent.
When will the madness end? :)
$P JES2 - Withdraw JES2 from the system
$P RMT(nnnnn) - Terminate a remote terminal connection
$P XEQ - Prevents JES2 and WLM-controlled initiators from selecting work

Hi Charles,
You said: "... JES P is Purge ..."
It is also STOP ($P LOGON) and DRAIN (e.g. $P SPOOL).

There are two different P's.
MVS P is stoP. JES P is Purge.
Working from (non-parity checked) memory here. Someone will sure
hasten to correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Charles,
I guess that nobody bothered to tell the tech writer that the "S" in
MVS, is an abbreviation for "Storage".
Decades ago, I learned "Segments", and I've thought that ever since.
I may never have uttered it. But, GIYF (sic), "Storage" seems to be the
mode, and I must retrain myself.
I've heard operators pronounce "P" as "Purge". Is that misleading?
I dislike abbreviations that are not prefix strings. I may make an
exception
for "X" for either "TRANS" or "EX".
TSO seems not to have abbreviations, but alternate names. It's not
"ALLOCate", so I may code "ALLOCATE" of "ALLOC", but not "ALLOCA".
And "PGM=" is not a keyword. That should have been forbidden.
