Canceling commands

The method you use to cancel a QMF command or query that is currently in process depends on the type of terminal connection you have and your environment.

In CMS and TSO:

• If your terminal is connected directly to the system, press the Reset key, then the PA1 key.
• If your terminal is connected to an SNA network, press the ATTN key.

In CICS, the CICS operator must cancel the QMF transaction like any other CICS transaction. You cannot use the PA1 and ATTN keys in CICS. When a QMF transaction is canceled, all work is lost and the QMF environment is deleted.
