If the ending address space is a CCTL that is hooked up to IMS (DBCTL), then the S08E abend is a result of an operator CANCEL request for that address space. CICS® is an example of a CCTL. No further action is needed if the address space ends to completion. If not, then the operator should try the FORCE command, which IMS will internally change to a CANCEL command. If the address space still doesn't end after this first FORCE attempt, then the operator can enter the FORCE command again. IMS will not change this FORCE attempt, and MVS™ will process the FORCE to end the address space.
