A job may be aborted by selecting the Stop Job icon and selecting the job to be removed from a queue. All subsequent execution will be halted including any pending dependencies.

Note

The ability to stop the execution of a job in the K or L queues is dependent on a number of factors. The first and most important of these is the performance and complexity of the system. The ability of the icon to reflect the current state of the queue is dependent on a latency that may occur as the queue state is updated in a multiple cluster or remote server environment.

Another factor that may cause a difficulty in aborting the job is that if a job does not perform DCL commands, it may not be stopped. Usually, jobs that have a designated delay in the K and L queues and perform some DCL commands are able to be aborted using the stop function.
