Usage

/CANCEL cancels all segments of a multisegment input message. It must be entered prior to the end-of-message (EOM) indicator from the terminal that was entering the message. Because a /CANCEL command must comprise a segment, it cannot be used to cancel a single-segment message.

On a non-3270 device, you can cancel a single-segment message by entering two asterisks (**), followed immediately by an end-of-segment (EOS) indicator. When MFS is used, you can define delete characters other than (**) to cancel other segments besides the first.

/CANCEL command has no meaning on display terminals where it is not possible to have some segments of a message already received by IMS while receiving subsequent segments.

Example for /CANCEL Command

Entry ET:

  /BROADCAST TO ACTIVE (EOS)
  SYSTEM WILL BE AVAILABLE (EOS)

Entry ET:

  /CANCEL

Response ET:

  DFS058I  CANCEL COMMAND COMPLETED

Explanation: All previously entered segments of the current message are discarded.
