I can tell you what we do.  I make a script that is a place holder like
process_x_ok.  In my main script at each point that I may want to stop I
check to see if there is a script call process_x_stop (see below).  If yes,
then rename the script to process_x_ok and stop.  If no then continue.  This
has worked great for us.  Thus to stop the script I issue the command
"rename script process_x_ok process_x_stop".

select * from script_names were name='PROCESS_X_STOP'
if(rc_ok) goto stop
.
.
.
.
exit
stop:
rename script process_x_stop process_x_ok



Hope this helps

Subject: Canceling a Script?


All,

Is there any way to cancel a TSM script once it has started?  I have a daily
maintenance script that runs several processes, one after the other.  I
often find it necessary to stop the script for one reason or another.  I
have had to let the script keep running and cancel the processes one at a
time as they are initiated by the script.  Please tell me there is a better
way to do this...

Thanks,
