Back in the day we used to do something like this to be able to bail out of 
long-running house-keeping scripts:

repl node node1,node2,node3 wait=yes
select * from scripts where name='CANCEL_REPLI'
if(rc_ok) goto cancel

repl node node4,node5,node6 wait=yes
select * from scripts where name='CANCEL_REPLI'
if(rc_ok) goto cancel

cancel:
cancel replication
del script CANCEL_REPLI

Then it was just a matter of defining a script "CANCEL_REPLI" ...

Subject: [ADSM-L] Cancelling REPLICATION Processes via script.

I have an admin script that issues several node replicate commands, with 
WAIT=YES on each to control bandwidth/processor burden.

If I issue CANCEL REPLICATION, only the currently running process is cancelled. 
 The next REPLICATE NODE (pending via the script) then starts.

Is there a way to cancel all of those pending processes?

I tried a DELETE <schedule_name> TYPE=A (it did delete the schedule), followed 
by CANCEL PRO (on the currently running process), but the next REPLICATION 
immediately started.

The only solution coming to mind is to write a script that would repeatedly 
issue "Q REPLICATION *" with a CANCEL REPLICATION issued if one is active.  
Then exiting when none are found.

Any of you TSM wizards have a solution you're willing to share? ... thanks.
