The /STOP command
stops the scheduling of specific PSBs and can stop the use of a given database,
as follows:
- The ADS keyword specifies that a DEDB area data set (ADS) is to be stopped
and deallocated. Note that this commands stops only the ADS, not the entire
area. The area is stopped only if there is no ADS allocated. This command
is rejected if the ADS you specified is the last data set available in the
area because ADSs are invalidated when they are stopped. ADSs are reestablished
by running the DEDB area data set create utility.
- The AREA keyword specifies that all the data sets associated with an area
are to be stopped and deallocated. The status of this area is set to STOP,
as displayed with a /DISPLAY DATABASE command. (See Finding out current status of DBCTL activities.)
If the area is already stopped, the /STOP command just deallocates the data
sets.
- The AUTOARCH keyword specifies that automatic archiving is to be stopped.
- The DATABASE keyword stops the use of the specified database.
- The OLDS keyword specifies that DBCTL is to stop using an OLDS.
- The PROGRAM keyword specifies that a PSB is to be stopped.
- The REGION or THREAD keywords specify a region or thread that is to be
stopped. This can be a region or thread shown by the /DISPLAY CCTL command.
(See Finding out current status of DBCTL activities.)
- The WADS keyword indicates that a WADS is to be removed from the pool
of WADS.
