/STOP commands

The /STOP commands stop the sending, receiving, or queuing of output messages to a particular communication line, terminal, user, or logical path.

You can also use these commands to stop the scheduling or queuing of messages containing a specific transaction code, the execution of a specific program, or the use of a given database.

For VTAM® nodes, the currently connected terminal is disconnected. All further logons are rejected until the node is the subject of a /START or /RSTART command.

The /STOP command validity checks all parameters entered by the terminal operator. If an error is detected on parameters that are independent of one another, only the invalid parameters are indicated as being in error and the /STOP command processes the rest of the parameters.

The /STOP command can be used to reset conditions previously established by the /START, /RSTART, /PSTOP, /PURGE, or /MONITOR commands.

These commands can be issued to an IMSplex using the Batch SPOC utility.
