Termination or restart of OPTIONS

You can terminate an OPTIONS utility job by using the TERM UTILITY command if you submitted the job or have SYSOPR, SYSCTRL, or SYSADM authority.

You can restart an OPTIONS utility job, but it starts from the beginning again. If you are restarting this utility as part of a larger job in which OPTIONS completed successfully, but a later utility failed, do not change the OPTIONS utility control statement, if possible. If you must change the OPTIONS utility control statement, use caution; any changes can cause the restart processing to fail. For example, if you specify a valid OPTIONS statement in the initial invocation, and then on restart, specify OPTIONS PREVIEW, the job fails.
