Aborts one pending I/O request for a device
ABORTIO ldev =ABORTIO ldev
ldev The logical device number of the device for which I/O is being aborted.
This command aborts all pending I/O operations on the specified ldev. To delete all queued I/O requests for a device, repeat the ABORTIO command until the following message is printed on the $STDLIST device: NO I/O TO ABORT FOR DEVICE #ldev Those devices which are JOB or DATA accepting always have outstanding READ requests pending, due to the auto- recognition feature of MPE/iX. The ABORTIO command is used to clear these pending input requests. To completely clear spooled devices, several ABORTIO commands may be necessary. Issue the ABORTIO command until there are no queued I/O requests, and the message above appears on the $STDLIST device. Clearing all outstanding I/O requests is sometimes required in order to allow proper execution of other console commands. In certain cases, the ABORTJOB, TAKE, DOWN, and REFUSE commands will not execute unless an ABORTIO command is first issued to clear pending I/O operations on the appropriate device. If ABORTIO is not effective from the system console, =ABORTIO may be used. The =ABORTIO command should be used only when the ABORTIO command cannot be executed, or when the console is busy. The =ABORTIO ([CTRL][A]) can be issued only from the physical console. This command may be issued from a session or job. It is available from within BREAK or a program. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command. =ABORTIO ([CTRL][A]) is available only at the physical console, unless distributed to users with the ALLOW or ASSOCIATE command. =ABORTIO cannot be issued from a job.
To abort all pending I/O requests for logical device 53, enter ABORTIO 53 1116/3/NO I/O TO ABORT FOR DEVICE 53 You must issue several ABORTIO commands to abort all pending I/O operations on a spooled device, as shown below: STOPSPOOL 5 1120/31/SP#5/STOPPED 1120/31/LDEV#5 NOT READY REFUSE 5 ABORTIO 5 ABORTIO 5 1121/40/NO I/O TO ABORT FOR DEVICE 5
