Using the STOP function

The STOP function is used to stop the CICS® socket interface or a listener within the interface. If the interface is stopped, all listeners are stopped before the interface is stopped. The STOP function also disables CICS tracing for the CICS socket interface and the listener. If you type STO in the screen shown in Figure 1 or enter EZAO STO on a blank screen, the following screen is displayed:
