Hi,

Can we cancel a TSO Session using JCL? I got my ID hanged today and the support desk said ask to cancel the TSO session in the team. Some can have a JCL to cancel the sessions. But as most of us are new here, no one knows of such a JCL. Does any one of you have such JCL available? Please share.

Ask your technical support team. They will know the procedure they want you to use to do this (even if it means you telephone someone and get them to do it). Attempting to run random bits of JCL picked up from the Internet is unlikely to be the suggested course of action.

what do you mean by hanged?
Are you executing any foreground programs that is in loop?

Also if you just wanted to reconnect

Try

Hanged! Executing! Gosh - IT is becoming deadly this year!

I might not be correct in using the terms but then what do you call it? Please guide me.

Code: Select all

TSO <USERID> RECONNECT

No, no program was executing but at left bottom of the screen a clock kept on showing up and showing up.

Yes this is what I did. But they suggested that there are some JCL in our team which can be used to purge the session rather than waiting them to come and purge, in case we are in middle of something important.

But they suggested that there are some JCL in our team

In that case, why are you posting here instead of talking to your team to find that JCL?

Hi all,

This has worked for me.

Thanks for posting what has worked for you. Appreciate that.

I have no problem in sharing what has worked for me.

too bad that what worked for You is not considered a good practice.

but it has become an habit on most of the forum, just make the idtents happy even if the answer is contrary to good COMMON practices
