Database Utilities › REORG › Terminating a REORG

Terminating a REORG

The standard and asynchronous REORG can be prematurely terminated with a stop MVS operator command.

Syntax:

P jobname,STOP

or

F jobname,STOP

The job name on the stop command references the MVS job name executing the SARDBASE utility.

• When the standard REORG is stopped, the full reorganization process is aborted and the database is reset to the pre-reorganization state.
• The asynchronous REORG, however, is stopped in a manner that leaves the previous reorganization activity intact.
