HELP CANCEL — VMS 5.0

  Cancels  scheduled  wake-up  requests  for  a   specified   process,
  including  both  wakeups scheduled with the RUN command and with the

ParametersCommand QualifiersExamples

Parameters

 process-name

  Specifies the name of the process for which wake-up requests are  to
  be   canceled.   Process  names  are  strings  consisting   of  1-15
  alphanumeric characters.  The specified process must have  the  same
  group  number  in  its user identification code (UIC) as the current
  process.

  If you specify both the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier  and  the  process
  name,  the  process  name  is  ignored.   If you specify neither the
  process-name parameter nor the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier, the CANCEL
  command cancels scheduled wake-up requests for the current (that is,
  the issuing) process.

/IDENTIFICATION

/IDENTIFICATION

 /IDENTIFICATION=pid

 Specifies the process  identification  code  (PID)  that  the  system
  assigned  to  the  process  when  the process was created.  When you
  specify the process identification, you can omit leading zeros.

Examples

  1.   $ RUN/SCHEDULE=14:00 STATUS
       %RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 0013012A
          .
          .
          .
       $ CANCEL/IDENTIFICATION=13012A

  The RUN command creates a process to execute the image STATUS.   The
  process hibernates and is scheduled to be awakened at 14:00.  Before
  the process is awakened, the  CANCEL  command  cancels  the  wake-up
  request.

  2. $ RUN/PROCESS_NAME=LIBRA/INTERVAL=1:00    LIBRA
       %RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 00130027
          .
          .
          .
       $ CANCEL LIBRA
       $ STOP LIBRA

  The RUN command creates a subprocess  named  LIBRA  to  execute  the
  image LIBRA.EXE at hourly intervals.

  Subsequently, the CANCEL command cancels the wake-up  request.   The
  process continues to exist, but in a state of hibernation, until the
  STOP command deletes it.
