Stop the MSF

You can stop the local MSF.

To stop the MSF

1. Issue the MSF STOP command through either of these methods:
   • From an OPS/REXX program
   • From a console using the OPSMSF command rule in the sample libraries
2. Use the following syntax for the MSF STOP command:

   ADDRESS OPSCTL "MSF STOP keywords"
   

   For detailed descriptions of the keywords for the MSF STOP command, see the Command and Function Reference.

After the local MSF is stopped, you cannot issue any cross-system commands or messages from or to the local system until an MSF START command has restarted the local MSF. If any commands were in progress, they are aborted with a message showing that the MSF session was stopped.
